Lake Powell

We had so much fun this past week as we spent a few days at Lake Powell. The kids did great and had so much fun too. Both of them loved the boat rides and the water. Taggart spent a ton of his time fishing from the House Boat. He is becoming quite the Fisherman and taking after his Uncle Carston.
Here is our sweet little Hawaiian girl. We were worried that she would just jump off the boat, but she was better than we thought and had a little more fear than we expected. Thank heavens!!
Maddie loved driving the boat and House Boat. She would put her lips together and make an engine noise and wave whenever we would see another boat; it was so cute!

This is how we spent most of our time- in the water!! Since it was so hot and the water was soooo nice and warm, we lived in the water. Yes, I know Maddie is naked. She spent most of the time in a diaper or naked. I know that we looked pretty white trash!

Taggart was so worn out from the sun and all the swimming that he fell asleep on the boat a few times. Isn't he so cute sitting with his daddy?

Tag and Mommy riding in the boat. Taggart and Maddie even rode on the tube this year and both loved it! We tried to get Tag to go on the wake surf board with Cam, but Tag chickened out. Maybe next year!

Look at these cute smiling faces!


Here Maddie and I are drinking our fun drinks on Hawaiian night. The kids all broke open a pinata and we had a big party! The kids spent a lot of time dancing and getting their groove on! You should see Maddie; give her a beat and she goes crazy!

Maddie and Isabelle sucking on limes in their Hawaiian dresses. Aren't they the cutest cousins ever! They had so much fun playing with each other.

Here is to another great year at the Lake! The adults even snuck in a few games and relaxing times every now and again. What a fun vacation!

How fun. Your kids are at such a good stage for Lake Powell. It's so hard when they are still babies and no one gets any sleep. Glad this year was a blast. Love the hawaiian night idea. We might have to start that one.

Glad you guys had a blast! I'm so jealous! I love that darn place! Your pictures are so adorable! I love the one of Tag in his life jacket. You captured his best smile perfectly! And Maddie...that girl is so darling!! Can't wait to squeeze those cheecks and see her new dance moves in a couple weeks! Glad you're back! It felt like I didn't use my cell phone all week!

Party nights on the houseboat...good times. I love that idea! All of your pictures are gorgeous, what a great looking bunch you make! I agree on the sans swim diaper thing... Who needs em, baby bums don't stay that cute for long! I'm so glad that you all had a great time. We are headed there for Labor Day, and I can't wait!
