We took the big "party barge" out on our annual Lake Powell trip this weekend. It was quite an adventure. We got to Lake Powell Friday evening to beautiful, calm waters and the most wonderful sunset in the world. Then about midnight the storm began--wind and rain. The worst part is we were sleeping out under the stars on the boat and had no shelter. Carson was in a deep sleep when all of a sudden he started yelling to leave him alone. He thought his brother was buggin him, when it actually was raindrops. Kallie thought it was great and giggled and laughed all night long. Needless to say we didn't get a lot of sleep that night. Saturday morning was bright and beautiful again and we lucked out the rest of the trip.
Carson was obsessed with fishing. All he wanted to do was fish. He even stayed out in the dark trying his luck. Unfortunately the fish weren't biting and Dillon was the only one who caught one tiny fish.
Everyone loved to cliff jump. We found some really fun cliffs to jump off. Dillon was by far the most brave, climbing higher and higher each turn. Kallie even jumped!
Dillon and Carson loved the tube the most. We had to beg and plead the kids to try wake boarding and skiing. The bounced right up and did so good, but still loved the tube the best.
Trent even skiied and wake boarded. Here he is showing off on the board. The kids were pretty impressed. I was holding my breath hoping he wouldn't re-injure his achillies tendon. Luckily all was well.

Fun!! I love Lake Powell. It has been about 5 years or longer since we've been.
Looks like lots of fun! The raindrop story is really great.
Wish we were there. I love the raindrop story too. That is what comes from having two older brothers!
