POWELL TRIP!

Okay, so I know I've been a slacker this month, but our computer has been broken. We've been having a great summer so far, mostly having picnics in the yard (2-year-olds are so easily impressed) and swimming at the Stansbury pool. We just got back from a trip to Lake Powell with my family and some of their neighbors, and it was so dang fun. That is my very favorite place to go! I LOVE it, even if gas is $5.39 a gallon there (ouch). We left Wyatt home (thanks Connie and Cami!) because we thought he would be pretty miserable there. I MISSED HIM LIKE CRAZY!! I felt like one of my arms was missing or something, but I still had a way fun trip. Jaxson kept us busy chasing him around with sunblock and a lifejacket all day everyday. He had such a blast, with the exception of the first night, where he could be heard throughout the whole houseboat (and probably echoing off the rocks of Lake Powell) yelling "I want my brother! I wanna go home! I don't want to live on this boat anymore! We ended up sleeping on a tent on the beach and he was fine after that. Here are some fun pics we took:

Can you see why this is my favorite place to go??? SO AWESOME!

Mark trying out his new wakeboard--he was working on clearing the wake and I was working on getting in and out of the wake without falling on my face (which is why there are no pics of me wakeboarding!)

All set for a "wild" tube ride

Jaxson's favorite place to be--on the boat with his very own can of pringles!

Okay, okay, so this one isn't really from Lake Powell since he wasn't there, but I couldn't leave Wyatt out! Isn't he so stinking cute in his swimming suit with all that chub?!

JAKE'S FAVORITE GAME
