lake powell.

After spending a week in Utah, we headed straight to Lake Powell with my family. Can I just say that I absolutely love the drive from Provo to Wahweap? Because I seriously do. We were supposed to do an overnight cabin trip with some of Devin's friend that got cancelled last minute so we decided to head down early and bring Matt and Anne with us since they both had already taken work off! It was perfect. We had a very small group this trip. Just my sister Julie and her family, my parents, us, and Matt and Anne. That's the smallest group we've ever had... so we decided to just keep the boat in the marina. That ended up being a very good thing since our boat broke down on our very first ride. Such a bummer. Luckily we got a little bit of tubing and wake boarding in before the boat broke. Matix was super brave and got back on the tube after a couple years. He had a rough experience, but he is back to loving it for the most part! We finished the day up with swimming and game playing. Even though the boat never ended up getting fixed, and 4 mechanics couldn't figure out what was even wrong, (my dad spent his entire father's day working on it :( ) my parent's stake president and very good friend was also out there and let us borrow their extra boat. What a freaking lifesaver! Our trip would have been such a bust without them. Especially since it was Matt and Anne's first trip to Powell! We squeezed all the important Powell activities in just in time for them to leave: tubing, hiking Labyrinth Canyon, Rainbow Bridge, Dangling Rope ice cream, star gazing and sleeping under the stars, and endless board and card games. We also got to hike West Canyon after they left. My favorite. We still cut the trip a couple days short because of the boat dilemma which was a bummer...but we definitely had plenty of fun in the sun!! Until next time...
