A Quick Powell Trip...

Last week we ran up to our houseboat for 4 beautiful days on Lake Powell.  There were only a few of us, and the weather was unusually COLD, which meant the water was COLD. But we had fun, and got to see the Robison family a lot while we were there. Here are the highlights!

 Brenner was so good on the boat, as long as he had his hat and glasses.

 The boys loved helping Pops drive the boat.

 We enjoyed our visits at Robison's houseboat. They had all kinds of fun toys. Braden loved the paddle boards. Russ and Rusty did not quite have the skills for it, and they got wet trying. It was so funny.

 Of course we wake surfed. And by 'we' I don't mean 'me'.  But Kelcie did.

 Russ did. And we even showed Blake how to.

 Rusty and Berk did.

 Blake got the hang of it quick. Ryan too.

 

 Father's Day we were stranded on the houseboat because of wind. It was too choppy to take the ski boat out. We had a nice steak dinner and tried to keep the monkey's from jumping off the walls. Literally. Brenner had more fun 'jumpy, jumpy, jumpy' than just about anything else. Monday we braved the cool (65*) weather to go out for a bit. It was freezing. We have never had to bust out the onboard heater before, but we were sure glad for it that morning!!!

 But we made it to visit the Robison's again, and this time Braden took the canoes for a spin.

 Rusty figured out the paddle board thing.

One final trip on the tube and we headed into the dock and packed up. It was a LONG drive home, Brenner does not love the car. Blake hitched a ride home with us and I am sure he was wishing for ear plugs about 20 minutes in. And somehow I ended up not getting a single picture of Braden wakeboarding, but we go back for a longer stay in a few weeks, so I am sure I will redeem myself.
