One of the Greatest Places on Earth...

LAKE POWELL 2009

The traditional crazy face and regular face pictures of the whole gang.





Eli spent much of his time hunting lions with various plastic knives. Here is his hunter's face.




Mom & Eli. He insisted on this life jacket. Preferred it over the sissy blue and gray one.




Driving lessons for Mom. Now if I can just learn how to park this thing!




This was taken right before they all went over the boat's wake & Eli did a flip in the air.

He came down right on the water weenie and then ricocheted off into the water.

I jumped from the boat to console him because I naturally thought he would be scared.

Nope, he was just ticked off!

So appalled that someone would intentionally try to knock him off!



Evenings were spent sitting around the fire talkin' story and listening to the guitar.





Ryan loves to fish and is passing that love on to Caleb.

The score for catching fish on the 1st day was:


Caleb - 1 Ryan - 0

Somehow nobody got any pictures of me doing my sweet jumps!



Go Grandpa!


Go Grandma!


Crazy cousin fun!



Caleb & Eli spent so much time up on the top of the houseboat doing attack/dance moves to the Superhero cd that their cousins brought.

That looks like so much fun. Jeramy is always playing the "someday" game and he always says that someday we'll have a boat with you guys and someday we'll go to pal with your family. Hope that someday comes. Would be so much fun!
