Way Back in July...Lake Powell with Besties!

Waaayyyyyy back in July we went to Lake Powell for a week with some of our best friends, the Pierce family and the Anderson family. We had such a great week! Time has reeaaaalllly gotten away from me and I've been verrryy lazy, and haven't blogged. BUT, here I go.

I'm going to catch up on some of the last year. Very quickly!!

(and I'm gonna change the date of my post so no one really knows just how late I really am!)

Some of the Highlights of the week were...

The Pierce's car COMPLETELY dying on the road in Flagstaff...

we had to wait there for about 2 hours to get it fixed!!

(pre-trip bonding time)

Lovebirds jetskiing!

Plenty of Jetskiing for everyone!!

lots of hanging out with the crowd in the boats.

Of course...you gotta climb SANDHILL!

So proud of my friends, SueAnn and Diana for climbing!

(I did not, btw)

CRAZY tubing...especially while Chris and Joe were driving!

Some AWESOME wakeboarding/surfing by everyone!

and...you cannot go to Lake Powell and NOT jump of a cliff.

I guess.

Even if you are just 5.

A nice "warm", but BEAUTIFUL hike up to

RAINBOW BRIDGE

Dear Mr. Stingray

You ruined my week at the beach.

You hurt me...BAD.

I don't know what I did to make you mad,

maybe I stepped on you, possibly for too long.

Well, you could have given me some other clue,

you did not have to DO THAT!

just sayin'
