Lake Powell

Last week my Dad and I went down to Lake Powell to go and relax with some of our extended family. We got there late that night and hunted down my Uncle Wally's pickup so we could sleep in the back of it.

Then early that morning our "luxurious" house boat came to pick us up at the docks...I know right...It looks like a Winnebago on pontoons. But hey it runs, well...not always, but it is still fun!
I even got to drive the beut! Look out Lake Powell!


This was my favorite spot on the house boat...despite the constant exhaust fumes!

My Dad is so cute when he gets all serious about jet skiing! Note the backwards hat...he isn't messing around!

We found an awesome place to jump of this little cliff thing, it was so much fun!



Isn't Lake Powell beautiful!

GIRLS WEEKEND!

The other weekend I had some friends come up from Utah to go play at the cabin, this was soooooo much fun! And yes if you look hard, Annaleesa is right behind us...trying to avoid the picture!
We had a blast playing around...we even got muddy (and by we I mean Brooke and I)
Des totally fooled me with her "city girlism's" we were going down a hill and this tree was in our way...she totally did her thing and showed the tree who's boss!

The cowboy or should I say cowgirl came out in Brooke while she tore through the creek!


We found a good resting spot and just hung out for a while. This is where Annaleesa was able to get some deep thinking done.
We drove up to the top of one of the trails and there was an awesome view, it felt like we could see forever! Okay...well at least to the Tetons.

4th of July

We had a the best 4th of July! We went boating during the day and had a party in the backyard later that night with our own fireworks show! Most of the show was put on by my 11 year old nephew and his grandma...I know I know it doesn't sound exciting, but I think you all would have been very surprised! Especially when a bottle rocket flew past your head.

This is us just hanging out int the backyard eating, playing guitar hero on the projector, and throwing fire crackers at each other.
This is where things started to get interesting...and by interesting I mean there was a concern that someone was going to lose a finger or even the whole hand. But it kept things interesting and it was a fun night!
The next day we went and rode motorcycles up by the cabin. Don't I have the cutest family ever!
I believe this was the first time Cambria was de-panced, she didn't really know what to do. Poor girl, but she better get used to it if she want's to survive this family!

Island Park

The other weekend I went to Island Park with some friends from the singles ward here. It was so much fun! We went and stayed the whole weekend and rode four wheelers every day. The first day there we rode up to the top of this hill, it was really fun.







This was me trying to get a picture of all of us standing on this ridge. Yeah, it didn't work out so well. Word to the wise...don't set your camera on top of an ant pile!



Apparently the sign of the day is a peace sign...cuz I flashed it in like every picture. This was the best view though, you could see over all the trees, it was pretty cool, and we were only about half way to the top!





Then on the 2nd day Matt came up to join the party. We went on a fun ride this day too. We rode to the mafia cabin that is up there. This was pretty cool to see. To think that the mafia was in Idaho...hardly anyone is in Idaho.



This is Tell and Matt getting ready for the ride, and by getting ready I mean waiting for us girls. They were always a bit faster than we were. This is a picture of us when we finally got to the mafia cabin.














On our way home we stopped by Mesa Falls. This was such a pretty place, I had never stopped here before.













This is me right by the falls, you can't really see it but there is a really big drop right behind me. These falls are huge!

This one is in honor of Brooke- Hey moosie moosie



Yeah! I love Idaho!
