Lake Powell

Hi everyone!  Let me tell you about my favorite place in the world.....LAKE POWELL!!!!

Brandon and I were so blessed to be able to go with my family this year.  They changed weeks that we had our houseboat so we could meet them there on our way home from Texas.  It was such a blessing.  I was so glad I got to share Lake Powell with Brandon.  It's now his favorite place, too. :)

We got there Tuesday afternoon.  We unloaded the cars and loaded up the houseboat.  We drove the boat a few hours north from Bullfrog to find a spot.  We found a great spot in Forgotten Canyon.  

My parents brought their kayaks and it was so fun.

Look at the fish Brandon caught!  What a beaut. :)

Every night Brandon made great fires for us!



We hiked to some amazing Pueblo ruins.  They were so great to see! 



Me and my main squeeze :)






There was also a huge thunderstorm while we were there.  We were safely anchored, thanks to my dad, so we didn't have to worry.  We just got to enjoy all of the waterfalls.  We were surrounded by them.  It was so incredible to watch.  And for the first time I've ever been there, it HAILED!!!  I never believed that would happen in August.  We went down the slide off of the houseboat, played games, ate, swam, and enjoyed being together.  It was a wonderful trip!  I'm so glad we got to go.  I'm already counting down the days until we get to go back.  We love Lake Powell!
