Lake Powell

I was a little apprehensive about going to Lake Powell 6 months pregnant. The heat, the bouncy boat, and camping on the beach sort of scared me, but I knew it would be worth it to be with my family. I am so glad I went. Other then the windy and sleepless nights, it was a lot of fun. Thank goodness I had Jon because he took Judd for me so I could get some sleep.

Some of the highlights from the trip:
*Waking up the first morning at 5am because Judd was up and at it. Hated getting up that early but Jon and I took Judd away from our campsite so everyone didn't have to hear him. Judd stayed cozied in Jon's arms while me and Jon talked the morning away. It was nice to finally just get to sit and listen to one another. It doesn't seem to happen that often with our busy lives.
*Judd loving the Sea-Do. He fell asleep in it.
*Wave runner rides with Jon and Judd.
*Watching Judd build sand castles with his Dad and two cousins, Nick and Sawyer. Seriously, I am always harping on Jon for not doing more around the house. However, he always makes up for it when we go on trips. He made the trip so fun for Judd and all the cousins. The kids love Jon!
*Watching my Dad enjoy all his grandkids. My Dad loves Lake Powell. His whole summer consists of weekend trips to Lake Powell. I don't know how he does it. He is always up for going and will take anyone there. He drove to Lake Powell for a day just to take my cousins to Rainbow Bridge. They had never seen it and my Dad was more then willing to be their tour guide. He is going on 70 years old but has the energy of a 20 year old. His priority at Lake Powell is to spoil the grandkids. They get just about anything they want.
*Riding in the car to and from Lake Powell with my sister Nickie. We laughed our guts out.
*Getting to be with both my sisters. It is amazing how fast time flies and how big their kids are getting.

Here are a few pics from the trip:
