We had our annual trip to Lake Powell in September. This video is one that Kylie made for a competition at school called "Reflections". The theme this year was Wow. We had plenty of wow moments on Lake Powell so it wasn't hard to decide to make a video about that. We had such a wonderful week! It was probably the warmest it has ever been-it was so gorgeous!! This year we had some friends go with us- the Hansens and Lamoreauxs, and Paul's brother Kendal with his family. Kylie also got to invite her good friend Mikayla this year. The kids (and adults, too for that matter) all got along and we made it without any major injuries or dangerous incidents. Paul and Richard both pulled their backs waterskiing, but could still function. We had fun swimming, boating, jumping off cliffs (even Kenzie found a tiny one she could do), wakeboarding, tubing, eating, sunning, fishing, playing games, and generally getting away from it all!! Though Marci did figure out that you could get cell coverage in the middle of the lake so she could keep up with her texting. :-) It's amazing to me how long kids can play in the sand and be completely happy. Where we parked the boat this year we had a nice hiking area up a big sandstone formation. We had some good exploring- the kids found a cave, a graffiti wall, and lizards. The other thing that was amazing this year was the sky at night. We could see the most stars and even the milky way. In some past years we have had a full moon which is nice too, but it really cuts down on the stars you can see. I've added some other pictures on the slideshow at the top of the page so you can see how beautiful it is there. Unfortunately, my pictures don't even do it justice.
