Lake Powell-warning: LOTS of pictures!!

My sister Kay (Graham) invited us to share a few days with them on their Lake Powell houseboat. It was so much fun! What a great memory for our family. Thank you, Kay!

My mom and I enjoying cooling off in the water.

Cute kids in the water: Henry, Gracie, Sophie, and Cashy

Sophie thought she was being so tricky, hanging from the rope that tethered the houseboat to the beach!

The kids loved playing on the houseboat - jumping off the diving platform on the top deck, swinging on the rope swing, and sliding off the slide.


Of course, there was a lot of tubing and wakeboarding going on. Sam, Megan, and Henry were showing off but fell off right after this pic.

The boys spent hours trying to catch some fish - Henry caught bluegill and actually ate it! Sam and Adam caught catfish - actually ONE catfish three different times. That was one stupid catfish!




Megan was still recovering from getting her wisdom teeth out and was a bit drugged. She was so sweet with the kids, though!

Chad really enjoyed having his birthday celebration at Powell - he and brother-in-law Rodger both had birthdays while we were on the boat, so we had a little luau.






Megan, Adam, and the little kids built a fort on the hill across the bay from the houseboat. Very cool!

A little cliff jumping.



Kay gave me a little nudge (yank!) to get me over the edge. It was kind of scary!

Great pictures! I can't wait to try out Powell! I've never done the houseboat thing. That seems pretty cool! Love the grass skirts! I bet they provided hours of fun among both children AND adults!
