Lake Powell June 2014

Lake Powell was an adventure that we will never forget! We were so excited to go to Lake Powell again with Bill Nordgren and his new wife Shauna. Bill's two kids Cassidy and Cameron and Shauna's daughter Mia and her friend Carly. We arrived a day before Bill and his family. We were so surprised of how low the lake was. We searched for a really like time before we found an okay camping spot. It lake was so low that there were several weeds with stickers in them and not a very nice sandy beach. The water was murky and dirty and we didn't really want to swim right off shore because of how gross the water looked. However, we made the best of it and were still able to have a wonderful time. Mia was hilarious and great with the kids and so much fun. I had to leave a day early (I took Jared with me) to go to my niece Jessica's High School graduation. Chad stayed with the other three boys and Bill's family. That night Bill got really sick and had to go to the nearest hospital. Chad worried about them all night and and had a rough night of extreme wind blowing. By the time he heard from Bill the next day he decided to start packing up, because the wind was so bad. Bill spent the night in the hospital and was on his way back to camp. On the way back, Bill's boat broke down. Poor Chad ended up having to pack out our family, and then go back and tear down Bill's camp and take all of his stuff to the marina. He had to go back and fourth at least four times and it was about a 45 minute boat ride. He then had to drive the long 6 hour drive home. They didn't get home until after 2:00 in the morning.
