We went to Lake Powell with some of Todd's family {Connie, Amy, John, Dane & Alexa (sister, bro-in-law, their 2 kids), Mandy (cousin) and 3 dogs} over 4th of July weekend.
Let me tell you - it was quite an adventure.
Without getting into too much detail here is an overview of our trip:
~Wednesday, July 2nd~
- Left at 10:00pm for Lake Powell.
~Thursday, July 3rd~
- Spent a great day out on the lake in Hite. There was no one else there - the water was awesome.
- Tried to watch a movie outside and ended up killing a rattlesnake - went back in the motor home.
~Friday, July 4th~
- Spent some more time on the lake.
- Ate lunch.
- Made a 50 mile trek {I might be exaggerating} on the boat from Hite to Bullfrog to watch the fireworks.
- Left Bullfrog around 11:00pm to make our way back to Hite on the lake. Get lost several times.
~Saturday, July 5th~
- Boat ran out of gas at 2:00am
- Help arrived at 7:30am
- Got back to camp at 8:30am
- We all took a long nap and then came home
All-in-all it was a great trip - the weather was great, the stars were bright and beautiful and it was great to spend time with family.
The morning we got there.
Knee-boarding and tubing
Me and Mandy
my CUTE hubby!
We got take-out at the Anasazi Restaurant on July 4th so we could go back to the boat to watch fireworks.

And I love boating so I know I'd love it. (When I say I love boating, I love to RIDE in the boat, or tub but I'm not very good at the other stuff!)
