Lake Powell

We went to Lake Powell a couple of weeks ago. We had such an amazing time!! We decided to take Noah and Indie since they aren't crawling or anything and since we have a houseboat with A/C and any other amenity you could need, they did so good! They were little troopers the whole time. They had little life jackets and we did a pretty good job of keeping them out of the sun and keeping them cool by dabbing water on them, fresh water, not nasty lake water, we will wait until they are a couple years older to expose them to the lake water :)
Jax, Ella and Gabe had a BLAST swimming in the water, they were little fish, we couldn't keep them out of the water! Jax and Gabe wakeboarded and surfed with Uncle Duh and Uncle Obi, go on the waverunners and even kneeboard!
Jax caught a baby lizard one day on the beach, he name it "Canyon" because we were in a canyon...pretty fitting huh?
Lake Powell is honestly one of my favorite places on this Earth, I have been going there since I was little and it never gets old. It is so amazing and so beautiful and I'm so glad my kids get the opportunity to go to such an amazing place.

It was so nice to be with my family for the week, I just wish it wouldn't have gone by so quickly. We got back the night before Jax started school and it was the perfect way to end his summer vacation. Cant wait for next year!!!
