July-part 2

LAKE POWELL

Ahhh, Lake Powell. It's the bomb. I love the red rock cliffs, the smell of the Lake, the scorching heat and the cool water. There is beauty in all directions (except the mirror, because you don't do your hair or make-up all week....ha ha), but there is beauty in that too because nobody cares and it is SO relaxing. You wear your swimsuit from sun up till sun down and you play ALL day long. You can hike, float in the water, eat, lay on the big blue island and enjoy good company, go for a boat ride, wake board or tube, eat, play games, read, eat, have a nap, watch a movie, fish, eat, fling rocks up in the weeds like Nathan, hit golf balls in the weeds like Mike, Jason, Nate and Austin, go for a wave runner ride, cliff jump, or just do nothing. Oh and did I mention eating? Yes, plenty of good food and just about every treat imaginable, yikes! It is defiantly a good time. Big thanks to our awesome friends the Arnell's for inviting us.



Yeah, we finally made it!

I think they are excited to be here

Katie-taking it all in from up front

The Barnes boat trying to catch up to us.....no way!
...not with Kyle driving.
Boat parking was scarce at the trail head to Rainbow Bridge.
The cool people that made the trek to Rainbow Bridge.
Rainbow Bridge. The worlds largest natural bridge with a span of 275 feet.

Em, Patrice, Nathan & Katie
Root beer floats at Dangling Rope marina-extra yummy after a hot boat ride.
We kind of caught the grill on fire while cooking bacon...OOPS!

Another great year!
