The long anticipated and hoped for Lake Powell trip was perfect for us! Because we went in September the weather was cooler, the water was still warm, and the crowds weren't too bad. it was perfect for the 2 new babies we had with the group this year. We had papa Mike piloting the houseboat around and mama Barb organizing the abundant spread of meals we so love on the lake.
We stayed on the beach in our tent- and it was put to the test. We had a storm the second night with some strong winds and quite a bit of rain. Needless to say we didn't sleep as well that night; however, we stayed dry and safe with lots of sand all over us the entire time.
Most of our time was spent wading in the water with the kids and helping with meals. The kids loved going for jet ski rides, exploring flooded slot canyons on dads back, and the annual rootbeer float trip into Dangling Rope Marina.
We could have stayed a day or two longer and it would have been even better. This is a tradition that has been going on since before I was born (before my parents were even married), and its one time of the year that takes too long to come around, and is over too quickly. We can't wait for next year!
