LAKE POWELL





Last week Josh and I were able to travel down to lake Powell with Josh's family and spend a few days soaking up the sun, wake boarding, boating, fishing, and just enjoying some good family time! We both had such a blast and now have some great memories that will last forever!
The first day we were able to get in lots of tubing on the amazing tube Josh's uncle has. It is so amazing because it can never flip over, I am so grateful for that! I have never laughed so hard riding that tube with Mak (Josh's sister) If you look at the pics you will see I am laughing in every single one. It really was a great ab workout!
The second day we got some good wake boarding in! You can see how amazing my husband is at wake boarding but don't expect to see any pics of me because while I was wake boarding (which I can) Josh was driving the boat, helping me to have perfect wake boarding conditions :) he really is so great at pretty much everything!
The third day we spent a lot of time on the fun beach we found and had a blast swimming and cliff jumping :) We were also able to wake board and ride the tube some more. On the way back at the end of the day Mak, Landon, and I were on the tube and Josh was driving the boat. Josh was trying to give us the ride of a lifetime taking us through every wake and choppy area of water he could find, when all of a sudden he saw the Ferry and noticed the enormous wake that was behind it. Now I really don't know if you have ever seen one of those Ferry's that carry the cars from one side of lake Powell to the other but they are huge! Josh hit that wake and we flew at least 10 feet in the air. I have never laughed so hard in all my life :)
The fourth day was mainly clean up and time to head back to real life :(
Each night Josh and I walked down to the boat Marina and were able to look at all the beautiful Cruisers and huge house boats! It was about a 2 mile walk each night and as we were headed back we were able to look at the beautiful starry nights.
What a great family vacation, and what a fun way to get a tan! I am so grateful to have such wonderful In-laws who care so much about Josh and myself. I can't wait for Bear lake in just a few short weeks!
(liz this is my first real blog lets hope that is how I am supposed to do it :))
