We ventured to Lake Powell this last week with my dad and his wife Heidi, her three girls, my sister Brigdet and her husband Derrik. We rented a house boat on a Thursday and stayed until Sunday. We had so much fun! We loved it so much we are definitely going again next year! I have already been on KSL Classifieds pricing out timeshares. Jarad loves to wakeboard and pretty good at it I must say. As for my self I did get up a couple of times but I am perfectly content just being the flag girl:) My favorite part is laying out on the top deck with a good read. I think just being in the atmosphere was awesome. Keanna loved every minute of it. As soon as we anchored the boat she was sliding down the slide and swimming like a fish. We left Kade with my mom because.... well I don't think I need to explain that one! Alayna did great I was a little worried but she did really good. She loved walking on the sand and having squish between her toes. Here are some pictures of our fun.
Jarad and I on a boat ride seeing some of Lake Powell. This was Jarads first time and he loved every second of it.

Keanna striking one of her many poses!

Alayna loving the sand! She doesn't look like it but she loved the it. She would try to wiggle out of my arms every time I was on the sand. She wanted down.

My Dad and Heidi on our our trip around looking at some of the canyons. Dad was a good tour guide. He seems to know his way around the place.

Bridget and Derrik. She is going to kill me when she sees this picture but it is the only one I had of them. I think she always looks gorgeous! You too Drks:)

Keanna and her step cousin. Is that a word? Anyway it is my step moms grandson Bo. Keanna whispered to Bridget while they were out swimming and said she kinda had a crush on him. I guess we need to let her know you can't have crushes on family! My Keanna bear is a little boy crazy. Oh dear........

Keanna was such a trooper on this trip. She has always been so easy to take anywhere. She loved every minute of it!

This is such a funny picture! I think my Dad took it. Alayna wanted out of her bed so I got her out and apparently we all fell asleep as she didn't. Yes we all had to sleep out on the hide abed! You can see Jarads headphones on. He listened to Enya as he snored away. hahahaha

Here is Jarad doing his thing! He is so awesome at it. He loves wakeboarding.

Here he is doing a back roll. He flips and lands it. It was awesome. He looked sooo HOT out there:)

Kenna and Laneybug.

Jarad and Derrik up high on a rock trying to get service. They did and then did not come down for awhile! We would all be lost with out our cellphones!! Especially these two. I think that Derrik was actually checking scores for college football.

Our head chef! Dad made some good food that week. Thanks Dad.

Me and the bug.

Alayna loving the sand.

It looks like you all had so much fun! Poor Kade didn't go. Little boys are so different then girls aren't they. I would love for you to visit anytime. We could even meet in the middle if that would be better.
Hey you guys! It looks like you all had a blast! I wonder what kind of pics you would have gotten if you had made it up this way . . . anyhow. We miss you guys! the girls look adorable and Jarad, holy cow, you've gotten good on that thing.
Looks like a blast! I'm sure if you want a house boat you'll get it!!! Will you invite us on your luxury cruiser?
I can't believe those pictures of Jarad! Wow he is good! And Alayna--well she is adorable in whatever element you take her in!
