Lake Powell

We just got back from our trip to Lake Powell. We bought a houseboat earlier this year and this was our second trip to the Lake this summer. Corb's had a great time. He really loved playing in the water. We had an awesome trip with our friends: Kyle, Jenilyn, J.P., Braxton, Natalie, Hailey, Riki and Cody. Scooter especially loved playing with Kyle, Braxton and Hailey.



We did lots of fun things while we were there. Grandpa and Grandma Green were kind enough to let us borrow their 1976 Fiberform boat at the last minute. We all tried to come up with a good name for it and I think that we settled on the "Orange Crush." We all had a great time in the "O.C." We were able to get everyone that was interested up on a wakeboard and had lots of good laughs in the process. We also were able to scare the pants off of Kyle on the tube. I am not sure that he is going to trust Layne behind the wheel of a boat for some time ;-). The O.C. also carried us all on a little sightseeing adventure over to Mookie Canyon where we all got out and had a great time swimming and having lunch on the beach.

Corb's also had his first experience at skinny dippin'. He was quite an exhibitionist, but I don't think anyone seemed to mind. He has the cutest little bum...it's hard not to love it. He also took his new little 4-wheeler and was cruzin' around on the sand and rock like he was a little pro.

Kyle, Hailey, Riki, Cody, Natalie, and Braxton all went out lizard hunting while we were there and brought back the biggest lizard that I have ever seen at Lake Powell. Cody and a few of the others made a very nice home for "Freddie" and he spent several nights with us on the the houseboat until the kids felt bad for the fat little thing and decided to set him free.

Overall, we had a very fun trip and we are so grateful that we had such good friend to share our trip with us and we look forward to returning to Lake Powell next year.
