LAKE POWELL!

Ok... just know that this post has a LOT of pics.  I don't know how to blog about Lake Powell without a TON of pics.  So here ya go...  We camp on the beach and anchor the boats.  Camping at Lake Powell is not for the casual camper!  It is extreme camping!  And SO much fun!  This year we had no scorpions, snakes, ants, or anything else we didn't like.  Just an occasional bat or 5 at night.  So much fun crammed into one week!
Captain Konnor
 This is a massive tunnel system we found right by our camp site.  Super cool.
 Turtle fun!
 Konnors FAVE thing to do at powell this year was JUMP off the boat. 
 She is a "Toad Whisperer", who knew. 
 MY super handsome hubby!
 Kase and his PUPPY!  Can't leave home without that!
 Catchin some air!
 Kyle and I decided to rent a Jet Ski for fun this year.  And FUN it was! 
 Best buddies!  Isn't that the cutest pic you have ever laid eyes on?!
 Rainbow bridge kiss
 Kim and I had a ton of fun riding this bad boy up and over the wake of the boat!  hee hee.
 I put all of the crackers in my mouth at once because I need my hands for much more important things!  Don't mess!
 Gotta do a little dancing on the trip!  4 dancers in the family... just a must!
 Grandpa and Kaylee caught a catfish.  (Kaylee's face says it all)
 MEXICAN FIESTA NIGHT!!!!  -Every year at Powell, we are doing a themed party for a night.  We decorate the camp site, we dress up, we have themed food, and have a blast.  This year we decided on the Mexican fiesta theme! 
 The crew (minus Kyle) he was taking the pic.
 I found mustaches for everyone to sport at the party! 
 Our little fam! 
Lake Powell is fun every year and different every year too.  This year was our smallest year since the Clampetts Go To Powell began.  We surely missed Kathie and Paul, Jake, Jen and Adam, Danny and Melony!  I can't wait for next year when we can have a more full Powell party!  Love all those that came and those that weren't able to.  Till next year.

Looks like you had a lot of fun. It also looks a lot warmer than it was in Forks for our vacation. But the beauty of Forks made up for the cold. I really don't have fond memories of lake Powell. Richard and I went there on our honeymoon and I got sick. We didn't rent a boat or anything so we had nothing to do, it was in May so the water was so cold, and there was no shade so we both got really sun burned. NOT fond memories especially for a honeymoon. But I am glad you have fun every year. Next year you will have to try Fork, WA. Just make sure you take a coat!!!

I have always wanted to go to that place...maybe we'll have to tote you experienced friends along if we ever make it?!

You guys are all sun tanned and looking ripped (yes, I'm jealous). Fabulous! All of you!
