Lake Powell

Dave and Cathy invited us to go to Lake Powell with them last summer...and all I can say is WOW! We had such a blast! Here are some photos for you to enjoy...

We ran right out and bought Cayden a life jacket. We were just too excited to wait for the lake, so we had to practice in the bath tub. Cayden loved it! He would kick off the bottom of the tub with his feet and the pillow would bounce him off the top, back down to the bottom. This is hours of fun for a 1 year old.

The amazing houseboat...


...that is nicer than my house

Cayden's first time on a boat

Trent couldn't wait to take Cayden in the water. It was a little colder than the tub though, I'm not too sure what Cayden thought...

The Young's have lots of traditions in Lake Powell. One is that all the girls paint the guys' toenails on the first day. I bet you can guess who's signature feet these are. I felt a little bad about totally destroying Trent's masculinity, so I thought I would surprise him and give him a Dallas Cowboys pedicure...however there was no navy blue, so I had to use teal, and there was no white, so I had to use pink. My stars look more like flowers...and I'm a sucker for sparkles, so I couldn't pass up the glitter top coat.

Playin in the houseboat

Wakeboarding, Trent's an old pro

The ski boat was great...it rocked Cayden right to sleep

My first attempt at wakeboarding.

Shawn was a good driver

And after many tries I finally got up...for like 2 seconds

Kali wanted to get in the pack-n-play with the babies

So I thought we found this bat stuck in one of the propellers, but as Trent was reading the post he told me that isn't true. He said that HE is the one that found the bat and it was floating in the water, so he put it in a cup. Personally, I think the propeller story is better, but he said it doesn't make sense because why would we be under the boat by the propeller? But then again why would anyone put a dead bat in a cup?

Cayden would wake up each morning at about 7:30, before everyone else. Trent and I would take him out on the rocks to play so he wouldn't wake everybody up. He thought it was cool his mom and dad were letting him get dirty

The guys playin games

The lake water was cold, so we would fill up the little pool with warm water from the shower and Cayden would play in it all day. He LOVED the pink pool!

Cayden spent most of his time in the shade

On the last night there is always a huge speed tournament. Here's Trent, Champion of the World, and Katie, 2nd place. No comment....other than I want a rematch.

And another great tradition, everyone does facials on the last night. Here I am putting on Trent's warrior paint
