Lake Powell


Lake Powell with my Family

One of my familys very favorite things to do together is boating and our very favorite place to do it is Lake Powell! Some of my vary favorite memories from growing up were made on this lake so when my dad asked me to come home from maryland to go of course i had to go!

Lake Powell is the most amaizing place in the world, at least in my opinion. Beautiful red rock, sandy beaches, huge boats, family, friends, and a great tan, what could be better? I just wish that Jon would have been able to come, then it would have been the Perfect week.

Here is the Big Boat, we had to stop and pick it up on the way from Big Water Storage, it saves us from having to tow this big girl for 8 hours, 8 miles is much much better :D
She is beautiful right ??

Then its off to the Marina. We always stay at Wahweap marina becouse its close to Paige Arizona and my family always has to make at least one Run into Wal-Mart. ( this trip we made 4 runs to town)


Here is a picture of the marina from the road, look how huge it is, thats a LOT of boats.

The first 2 days we were in Powell it ranied. we didnt mind though we still had a great time!

Look at all the rain thats hitting the Lake.

So in between showers we made our own fun swimming in the marina, here is my mom on her floaty and poops getting her life jacket out of the jet boat.

Here is brooke and I after our swim

On the Third day the weather Chanel reported that it was going to be sunny for hte rest of the week so we headed out to go camping here is a picture my mom took from the Big Boat of Brooke and I in the Jet Boat trying to keep up.

We Camped for 2 days and then decided to head back into the marina. The next Morning we decided to all go for a ride on the Big Boat up the lake to Dangling Rope Marina, its a beautiful ride. here are some pictures that i took on the ride.
