Lake Powell

We have been planning a family get together at Lake Powell for some time now, and last week it all came together, thanks mostly to my sister Karen and her husband Mike.  They spent the week there, as did Steph and Mickel and the kids.  I decided to go down the Wednesday after Memorial Day.  Kara and her family also went down then.  We missed Hunter, as he had decided to visit a friend in Flagstaff for the later part of the week.  And Brandon, and Kris & Sterling weren't able to make it down this time (we sure did miss all of you!!).  We had so much fun, we decided to make it an annual tradition (though perhaps a bit later in the year ... the water was COLD!).  I owe a big thank you to Steph and Mickel for letting me bunk with them.  It's always nice to spend as much time as possible with my grandbabies. 

Kaiya and Teague had a lot of fun before I got there, fishing and hiking.  Apparently, their fishing skills put the adults to shame.  

We had some gorgeous weather, although a bit windy at times.  The first day we had a lot of beach time.  Kaiya has always loved playing in the sand.  Teague, not so much.  But this trip, he ended up having a lot of fun in the sand.

We also went on a tour of the Glen Canyon Dam, which was very interesting.  It's weird to be inside and at the bottom of the dam.  It's truly amazing what man can build.  I believe that Kaiya and Teague enjoyed the tour, even if Kaiya did say later that it was boring.

So ... new family tradition: Lake Powell.  Let's get even more people there next year!
