Lake Powell

October 18-21 we took a trip to Lake Powell with some friends.  I thought we would be wearing wet suits and hoodies the entire time but the weather actually turned out to be amazing.  The kids got in the water with out a wet suite.  We had such a awesome time.  I was so grateful for the boat and the memories I am getting to have with my little kids.  I have such good memories from my child hood on that boat.  






























 We got Madagascar 3 for the trip down and it came with a rainbow wig. The kids thought it was pretty funny.



In the boat all loaded down to go find a awesome beach.
























Hyrum fell asleep sitting up in the boat.  His life jacket made a good head rest.





































Walt had such a good time digging and ridding on the boat.





Hyrum was such a little fish this summer.  Even though the water was really cold Hyrum still got in and  even wake boarded for his first time.



































We went for a  hike up forgotten canyon Hyrum was having a hard time keeping his swimmer up.















It was perfect weather for a hike!  The best I have ever had at Lake Powell.

Cute little Eli jumped off this cliff.  The water was cold and it was windy so he didn't want to get back in the water but he pushed through and did it.  It was awesome.  Jane was a cliff jumping animal.  I lost track of how many times she went.














Getting ice cream at the marina. Eli, Dex, Hyrum, Avery, Jane and Walt



Walt's cute little face covered in ice cream.  He love's this shark hat.  It was so nice I didn't have to keep asking him to put it on.

The big 30


 Seriously it is sad how many things I have not blogged about over the past year.  Back in March Matt and I took a three day trip to California.  We spent two entire days in Disneyland. Yah that's right we totally went to Disneyland with out our kids! We missed the kids but we  still had an absolute blast.  This was the first time I have ever been on splash mountain.  How classic is this shot?  I love it, it makes me laugh so hard ever time I see it. I love getting to spend time with just Matt no matter where we go. It is always nice for me to have him all to myself.  I will cherish the memories from this trip always!  How do you top a birthday like that?  If Matt didn't love Disneyland more than I do I would feel like I owe him something big for his birthday.
