Lake Powell

We have had such a fun, busy Summer! Last month we went to Lake Powell with Zach's family. Zach had to come home early to work and we were planning on coming home to keep him company, but decided we didn't want to miss out on any of the fun. And since the first two nights weren't fun AT ALL we needed to make up for it. It's totally different travelling with the Rideout's than with my family. If my family says we're leaving at 7:00, we're really leaving at 6:55. With the Rideout's the plan was to leave at 7:00 and we finally left at midnight! The kids slept horrible the way there, we pulled in around 4:30 am and slept in cars and got up at 7:00 to head to the houseboat. The first night on the houseboat a storm hit and we all (20+ people) piled inside the houseboat, on the kitchen floor, wherever you could find room. I was definitely ready to head home with Zach, but luckily the rest of the nights were better. A storm every night, but not enough to make me want to sleep inside. A little rain never hurt anyone! The kids played and played and loved every second. We had a kids talent show followed by a dance party, campfire and smores, chasing tubes and mattresses in the storms, wakeboarding, tubing, card games, and lots of fun!
