Lake Powell

During the second week of the Potato Harvest break we got to have an amazing time at Lake Powell (this was the trip we scored last fall at our wards auction that raised money for the youth) --I can't believe I haven't visited lake Powell before now, we had a blast!

The drive down was gorgeous with all of the fall leaves both Sardine Canyon & SF Canyon were so beautiful.

The lake was spectacular and the weather was in the low 80's the whole week.  We loved our little 'home away from home'!

 The kids lived in the sand & water.

The Slide off the houseboat was a big hit!

{LeGrand was trying to be a 'stud' and go down the slide on his feet, instead he got himself hurt!}

We spent countless hours on the ski boat (I even learned to wake board, wahoo!)

 {Laex rocked the kneeboard!}

 {Loa also rocked the kneeboard, with daddy!  She was quite the trickster, standing up and riding on LeGrand's Shoulders! --she LOVED it and through a serious fit when we made her quit so others could have a turn!}

We went on hikes

Partied at our Mexican Fiesta!

We also got to do some Lake Powell sightseeing, riding wave runners, tubing, paddle boarding, laying in the sun, playing games, golfing on the beach, roasting marshmallows & hot dogs & watching movies.

We even had a group set up a homemade waterslide/launcher next to us that we all tried out --it was quite the rush!

We had such a great time with the Simmons & are so grateful for their generosity!

(On day three of the trip we had a little hic-up when Bart ran the ski boat over a huge rock --the lake is so low right now that it's hard to know where they all are-- put the boat out of commission but we had two wave runners so it didn't slow down our fun :)! )
