Lake Powell (a couple months late)

I know this post is extremely late, but hey, it's here! Part of my problem is we took a whole bunch of pictures and since my camera takes higher pixel pictures, they take a lot longer to load. Therefore, I haven't taken the time to sit and download them to my blog. So today I am taking the time to do that. Here are some of my favorites to represent our vacation to my most favorite place on Earth!
Mckenzie playing on the beach the first day. It was great to get out after a long car ride.
My handsome hubby beginning the beach-relocation-through-erosion project.
This was just priceless! Elena took Mckenzie for a little boat ride.
The kids getting ready for a tube ride. Mckenzie got in a little later but she loved the tube rides.
They are so cute!
This is what sunscreen will do to your hair after a couple days.
Near the end of the week you can see what they've done to the beach!
I just had to include this picture because it is too funny! Erica was adamant that she did NOT want to go on a tube ride. Well, Monica had hauled all her kids to Lake Powell and they were going to spend SOME time behind the boat. So, she threw her in the tube. This represents the screaming tantrum that followed while we all just laughed!
This mama and baby duck kept coming around the houseboat to get fed little bits of bread.
Elena got to be a pro at jumping off the back of the houseboat. She felt invincible with her goggles on.
Elena and Erica: two peas in a pod.
My beautiful Becca. Here it was 90 degrees outside and she is wearing a jacket.
Jason and his scary orange eyes.
Mckenzie painting the pontoon.
Mckenzie LOVED rides in the "oat" with Grandpa. She thought holding the flag was cool too!

I love how she has the flag up even though Jason is still up.
Jason surfing
Our beloved Belinda houseboat. She is part of the family!
Proof that I was on the trip too! It takes pictures like this to help me see that Elena and I DO look alike!
Getting ready to surf. I had a hurt leg from falling at National Rally so I only skied once. I surfed a couple times because I figured if I did it when I was 7 months pregnant, I could do it with a slightly injured leg!
Oops! I was going to crash so I let go. I floated down softly!
We loved our vacation! Elena, Becca, and Mckenzie can't wait to go again!

He has some contacts that are like sunglasses. They are pretty cool like that. He can't wear regular contacts all day because they irritate his eyes, but he can wear the scary orange ones!
