Lake Powell 2009

I survived! Yes, I would do it again! We had such a great time in Lake Powell. It was all because of the Nordgren's. Chad trained Bill to be a private pilot several years ago and has kept in contact with him ever since. We had never met each other's families. I was very nervous to spend a week roughing it with people I didn't know. They were so gracious and kind and fun! We are so lucky and have made some lifelong friends and hopefully yearly Powell buddies. Here are just a few of the pictures from our trip. You can see more on my facebook. Facebook seems to load them faster, but I like to document here as well!


Beautiful Lake Powell Sunset


Jared on the knee board on the last day


Kyle mastered 180's and 360's on the knee board


Landon couldn't get enough


Chad learned how to do the air chair


I still like good old fashioned skiing


Our family at Rainbow Bridge! What a sight!


Couldn't get enough of the views!

Packing for Lake Powell

The boys are in bed, Chad is at work. It is 11:15 pm and I just started baking a batch of cookies to freeze for our Lake Powell trip. I am hoping that chocolate carmel cookies and a good book will help me get through the week. We are taking the kids to Lake Powell. We are leaving Monday morning and coming back Friday or Saturday. I am a little nervous because we are really going to be roughing it in a tent with no real toilet in sight! Ahhh! I used to love to camp, but I have been spoiled and now I like the comforts of home. I know we are going to have an enjoyable time and make a lot of fun memories! I am excited to see what the week brings! I am sure we will have a ton of pictures to share!
