Lake Powell - Record Number of Photos!

We spent the second week of June at Lake Powell with my family. It is our home away from home, and we had a BLAST!



Casen and Granpa



We started off the first day with Brett braking a blood vessel in his hand



Brin and Grandpa



Laurie, Andeline, and Brinley showing off their hair




Brinley and Ryan pulling us into shore.




Brinley and Andeline had SO much fun together on this trip! Sure wish they lived closer!



Casen loves having cold water poured on his head, Brinley started this one afternoon, and he has thought it was pretty funny ever since.








Daddy and Case driving the boat



Casen wanted to wakeboard pretty bad, maybe in a few more years.



A water bottle floated away, and Brinley swam all the way out to rescue it. Go Brin!





Grandpa and Case driving the boat






Brinley loved playing in the sand! She spent at least half of everyday out there swimming and building sand castles.



The six of us swam out to a rock island, about 200 miles (ok 200 meters) from shore, it was exhausting! We were pretty proud... not just of the swim, but our awesome pyramid :)



Case and the boat. Literally every time he has talked on the phone since Lake Powell, Casen will say "Uh go boat!" sometimes he even throws a "gampa" at the end :)



Casen had a blast on the jet ski, I couldn't believe how much he loved to jump!



It wouldn't be Lake Powell with out Dad's whole wheat pancakes with strawberries and vanilla icecream!



Dad is famous for his sand dune tacos, yum yum!



Dad and all his girls. Madeline, Jenn, Becca, Dad, Jessie, Brooklyn



Casen loves getting swung in the air, I think he enjoys it even more over the water. Thanks Aunt Clarissa!



I think the water was a little chilly... or as Brinley would say "A tiny but cold, but a tiny bit warm"



Katie, Brian and I jumped off this ledge together, Brian and Andrie scaled the crack behind us, and Dad got tipped over shortly after :)



This was Casen's first time really tubing and he did great :)



Brinley is quite the little tuber. Brinley kept saying faster, Ryan kept saying slower, and I just held on for dear life.



Ryan and the Kiddos



Go Dad and Jess!



Madeline, Brinley and I. Brinley drove all by herself :)





We all rode in the boat to a little under water island. Only about 4 square feet of sand was above the water, but you could walk on the sand under the water forever. We had a blast there and stayed for 2 hours!





Brinley Boo and Mommy Too



Ryan's sweet catch!



Mark and Brian



I felt like this frisbee game went on forever, but everyone was having a blast!



Casen Buddy and Laurie Loo are two months apart, and too cute when the get along


The WHOLE GANG! (minus Joe ofcourse!)



Family Pose, with our dramatic children


The air conditioning was broken the first day and Casen had to go help the men down under the boat... it started working, so I think he must of been a good helper :)
