Lake Powell Trip

This year we were able to go out to Powell for a few days. 
(Cierra, Ryanne and I ready to leave)
The kids had a blast! They are little fishes so they pretty much swam ALL DAY. The minute we got there (actually the minute we got to Antelope Marina!) they all jumped in the water!!! They swam till they were prunes, then swam some more!!!
Antelope Marina Swimming. 
 The all-awesome houseboat slide!! 
The family all tan and seasoned (cause they'd been there a couple days already) welcomed us with big smiles...
 Corinne LOVED Grandpa Sean's boat, and gave him some loves when we got to the houseboat. She's really a momma's girl right now, so this was SPECIAL!
 Here's some silly faces for you... Kallin's just silly cause he has some serious over the eye smushed skin!! Cierra's silly cause she doesn't like sunscreen. 
 Corinne got hurt a little... Auntie Lala helped make it better... 
 Uncle Justin played the coolest game with Corinne, and she made him do it like 10+ times! I'm sure he got a full body workout!
Beach KIDS!  
LOOK AT US! WE CLIMBED HERE!!! (oh no, looks like Corinne wants to join them!) 
Uncle JUSTIN to the rescue!!!

 Everyone was out getting skin cancer--- I mean, a TAN. In the floaties like you see here. Auntie Lala got sunburned after this day... on her chest & back. She's our fairest one of all, and she tries so hard, but alas, tan skin evades her... 
Hello little water baby!!! 
Coloring with Auntie Ry. 
 NUM. Ribs. 
 Sunset boat cruise. 
It really was the most beautiful ride....



 Corinne fell asleep on the ride... awwww...

 Day 2
A whole bunch of hanging out and having fun. 
 My little Sandy baby!
 These 3 were building an epic sandcastle, that never was completed. 
 The ultimate mermaid. I mean it... she was ALWAYS in the water!

 Cutest Picture right?!?!?!?
 Going for an Ice run, and getting ice-cream!
 Auntie Cici and Corinne... 

 On our way home from the Ice run, our boat started uhh.. hiccuping... So we were headed to pick up the girls from Kurt & Joni's anyhow, so we stopped in for a quick "repair" and visit! 
There was some fishing going on (Kallin's 1st time!) Ty was the expert on hand... 
 HE GOT ONE!!! 
Then a 2nd FISH!!! 
 The teen's/young adults chatting... 
 Colette tried to see if she could catch one, but unfortunately, the fish had gotten wise and kept stealing her bait! 
 We all came home and took a "bath" in the lake... The kids thought it was pretty odd.
 Day 3
 At sun-up Uncle Justin made a fishing line with a twig, and some leftover fishing line and hooks that we found. He caught a few different fish, along with some BIG catfish!
We floated in the shallows on plastic chairs (wonderfully relaxing... I must say)
There was snack time/movie-on-iPad time... 
 And then there was NAP TIME. Yes, Corinne and I took a nap. It was blissful, sweaty, and slightly too warm, but a nap none the less!! 
It was a GREAT TRIP.
