Lake Powell

We had a great vacation to Lake Powell.

The sight Karl wanted to see most was Rainbow Bridge National Monument. It was a pleasant boat ride there, while we enjoyed the scenic red rock. The short hike to the bridge was also fun, although the kids hadn't brought shoes and C managed to stub his toe. Jeff took a picture of him sucking on it. On the way back, the other boat broke... luckily before they'd gone very far. So we towed them to the nearest marina and they bought a new impeller. The minute we docked at the marina there was a mad dash for the restrooms. Evidently my munchkins were well hydrated--at least they made it. What an adventure.

The following day we spent mostly on the beach. The kids loved playing in the sand. There were at least 20 kids altogether, and lots of beach toys. All I had to do was supervise and feed the baby. Now that is a vacation.

There was tons of food for the trip and everyone helped bring a couple of meals. It was nice to not have to eat "camp food" the way we usually do if just our family goes camping.

By the end of the trip I had taken the opportunity to explore solo on a kayak, give C a short ride, kayak with Karl around lone rock, take M out on the wave runner twice, and get a ride around the four-wheeler track with Karl. I loved the loops. As a side, I also like the showers and didn't mind that they were cold (when it's hot enough outside, "cold" is the perfect temperature.)

I don't know when we'll be back, but I would love to go to Lake Powell again.
