Lake Powell

                        Every summer we get to spend a week with Spen's family in Lake Powell.

When we first got married, the trip was all adults, but when the kids

turn 5 they get to come, and boy have things changed.

All these kiddies really liven things up.

This year we had record numbers, and we had such a great time!

we were excited to find a beach
and in no time at all our strong men had it cleared of sagebrush,
 excavated and ready for some serious fun!

takin a dip

Ave's hangin with Aunt Leg and Uncle Tim
we almost didn't bring her b/c she isn't quite 5
but since she didn't get much time with her daddy this

summer we decided to let her come

I am so glad, she had so much fun!
