Lake Powell

"The Getaway" houseboat camped in Iceberg Canyon; Millie wakeboarding

We had the pleasure of going to one of our favorite places a few weeks ago...Lake Powell!
We are lucky that we get to go here a couple of times every summer for as long as I can remember.  There is no such thing as a bad trip to Lake Powell and this was no exception.
Every year it's the same - wake up, waterski, eat, tube, eat, swim, cliff jump, eat, water slide, hike, eat, wake board, knee board, eat, play games, laugh, eat, sleep, fun!
This time we stayed up Iceberg Canyon and also Bullfrog Bay.  Both were great spots with land to explore and mostly clean water.
Memories that stick out most from this trip:
-Quincy going down the houseboat waterslide for the first time.  She didn't hesitate going down but decided one time was enough.  She totally underestimated the drop at the bottom.  She also went knee-boarding with BS on the back...until he dropped off and she kept going.  The look on her face was priceless when she turned around and realized he wasn't there anymore.
-Playing LCR with Skittles and Snorta {in which Jim had a hilarious animal sound for his rooster}
-Watching the kids enjoy waterskiing, wakeboarding, and kneeboarding.  They get better each time and I can see their confidence building.  We even got Karlee and Rylee up too!
-The cousins playing and having so much fun together.
-Trying to play games and ignoring the really bad stink in the boat {there was a brief gray water mishap}
-Relaxing on the top of the houseboat late at night with Jim and Judy in the hardest rain I've seen there.  It was cool and refreshing.  The foot massages were a plus!
-Sam saving the day by fixing the starter on the Maxum.
-Quin constantly wanting to be swimming in the lake.
Thanks Clarks for a fantastic trip!  Look forward to next year!

Lots of braids in Mill's hair so we wouldn't have to comb it so much!
