Lake Powell Part 2

Have I mentioned how awesome our trip to Lake Powell was? It really was a lot of fun. Here are some pics from our trip.

Brayden hated the water and was terrified to go near it. So we blew up the pool we brought and the kids loved it. They were the entertainment of the week. After the first day of Brayden being scared of the water, we decided to force him to like it. We eased him into it by putting him on a raft, then got him wet, then pushed him in. And it's a good thing we did! We knew he would like it once he got in, and he sure did. He didn't want to get out.Here's we are playing volleyball:

Now for the cheesy part. Josh and I went out each morning to ski. I was afraid I wouldn't get up since it's been 5 years and two babies since I've skiied. Fortunately I got right up. About five minutes into my run I couldn't help but look around at how beautiful it was and I actually started getting choked up. I remembered how much I love skiing at Lake Powell. It definitely has become a passion of mine. I quickly re-focused and enjoyed the rest of my run. Josh also got right up and enjoyed his run as well. Here's a couple of pictures of Josh and me.
Another big hit was the fish, or should I say carp. Brayden loved feeding them all week long. Kendall helped him reel in his first fish!

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! I too have forgotten how much fun Lake Powell always was. The pictures of you kids are so cute!! I can't believe how big they look. We will have to plan a trip with our family to Lake Powell so that we can meet everyone there. That would be a lot of fun. Well hope all is good. How are things with the new pup? She is so so cute.
