Lake Powell, Part 1

So...after saying our goodbye's to Grandma and Granddad Holbrook (they were going to go, but Grandma hurt her back the day we were to leave), we were off to Lake Powell! The picture below is Papa Jerry, Jace, Grandma Gwin, Jake, Cam, Major, Jeff, Makenna, Grandma, Grandad and me.
Also going up Wednesday was of course, Danny, Caitlin and Cade, and Holly, Brandyn and Blayne (Brandyn's little brother)...oh and I can't forget to mention Lincoln, Holly's lab! Dixie met us up there on Friday. So Wednesday we headed up and filled up the houseboat with all of our luggage and food. We stayed on the boat that night at the dock because we couldn't take it out officially until Thursday. It was a four bedroom houseboat, dining room, kitchen, living room and two bathrooms with a slide in the back, a deck in the front and the back and the entire top of the boat was a deck, plus a wetbar, and captains chair. It was nice to be at the lake for once with air conditioner and bathrooms! I can't believe I did it all those years with small babies, and no air and no bathrooms! Thursday morning we headed out to find a camping spot. Holly and Brandyn, Danny and Caitlin, took their boats out to find a spot, then let us know where to go. They found a really nice beach! Kudos to them for finding something so nice!!!
The rest of Thursday we just got everything set up, got our suits on and started going down the slide...swimming...whatever caught our fancy!
Here is a picture of Blayne, just chillin' on the deck, with Papa Jerry snoozin' behind him!
Brandyn and Holly lovin' every minute of it!
