I went to Lake Powell last week for my first time. FIRST TIME! I know! It was heaven. Absolutely gorgeous! How have I been deprived like this! It was so much fun. I tried water skiing, last time I tried it I was like 12....It took a couple times, but finally got the hang of it. Except when I yelled "hit it" and my legs weren't together! I still pulled through though! Im amazing like that. ha ha! I also experienced some wake boarding action. Don't think I actually crossed the wake, maybe I did on accident, but I LOVED it! LOVED IT! It was so fun to be with friends. Loved the starry nights and the beautiful sunsets. Loved the calmness of the water early in the morning. Purely heaven. I also learned vital information about myself: I can't sleep with a snorer. If I marry a man who snores...surgery WILL take place...Thanks Nicole for letting me experience Powell...yep I feel I am one of the cool ones that can call it that now! Oh and, for all who are curious, YES I use sunscreen to prevent me from getting darker.... I don't burn, but get dark....I had like eight people on the trip ask me about it!

Enjoy!


Yes folks, this is me giving wake boarding a try...sure got up on my first time!
Fell down shortly after!


Alaina wake boarding


Michelle got really good at this!


Hanging out, cooling off...Boyd is looking at birds instead of the camera.

Nicole and her boot. She broke her leg prior to this trip....
don't fret...she has an inflatable plastic boot!

Me doing some tricks! ok, so its not me,
but he (Jared) was way good at doing cool things.

In the "slab"

inside the slab....this was a cool little place. It's totally hidden.

The climb up to the slab!

The Climb Down the "slab"

The view down. I was a bit terrified but didn't let it show! One slip...down ya go! I have to admit, I was really proud of myself for going on this...let's face it...I am short, reaching down to the rocks took some effort!

I was too chicken to jump off...actually I was just following the law, it wasn't that I was scared....just a law abiding citizen.

Girl Talk in the Carribean Floater.

Tubing

water skiing it up....if you want to learn the new move, "the Kaija" just let me know! When one sees it you would think I was inexperienced...nope, its just pure talent!

We finally made it to the forever long hike to the ruins. Had to swim through some "porta potty-like water." SICK! Next time, Im looking at the ruins from the boat!

Alaina and I

Nicole, the one that made this trip happen! Thanks so much!

Boyd, Wes, Michelle and I on our morning hike. We hiked to the top
to see the other side of the main channel. Boyd made us lay down to look over the edge! It's safer that way apparently!
