Lake Powell August 2011

Yep, it's another Lake Powell trip! Since it was Zach's last summer we were pretty much livin' the life :). Gotta love it! These pictures aren't posted in the order that they were taken, I decided to put them in categories instead. Hope you enjoy them!

LAKE POWELL PICS
Here are some random pictures of Lake Powell that I thought were worth sharing.








Random Pics on the House Boat

This shot was taken in the late evening, the lighting seemed to mess with the picture. Turned out kind of cool I guess :).

Me trying experimenting :)
Not quite what I was going for but it still turned out pretty cool.

Zach hosing down Luke with the house boat shower.

Isaac Martineau. I give him a 10!

Me and Zach :)

ON THE BOAT

Zach drivin' the boat.

Zach's cousin, Kit, chillin' on the boat.


Me, in my usual spot, getting some awesome Lake Powell video footage! Just ignore the hair coming out of my ears, lol. I was trying to keep my hair out of my eyes so that I could see what I was filming :).

Kit getting ready to get out on the ski.


SWEDISH TWISTER
This is my first time I've ever heard of Swedish Twister. I am still not exactly sure how to play it. It has something to do with keeping your own feet in contact with the person next to you :)

From left to right: Branson, Kandis, Isaac, Ashley, Sadie, Dani, Nicole & Colton hiding in the back.

Lol, Dani.



LOL!


The HIKE
A group of us took the boat out to a cove for a short hike. Unfortunately Sadie fell about 20 feet off of a rock wall that she was climbing. The Lord was looking out for her because she came out of the accident with scraps, bruises, and a deep gash in her elbow (which was later stitched up). She gave us a scare but we're so grateful that she's okay.

It was a hot day!





WATER PICS
Here are some random water pictures. Love my waterproof camera :). Best birthday present ever!


That's Zach after jumpin' in.

My sister-in-law, Talysha, lol

"Who's feet?", you might ask. . . . . Talysha's :).


Talysha Martineau

Ike

Ha ha Ike!


Zach's step sister, Dani (on the left) and her friend Kandis.

Dani

Lol, this was supposed to be a picture of Dani. Can you see me?

Dani. She was having a hard time staying underwater long enough to get the picture, lol. You're so cute Dani.


Kandis & Dani

Talysha


The BOARD
Okay, so I'm not sure what the official name for this board is, but we used it for all sorts of fun stuff!

We used it to glide to the other side of the docks. That's Kit btw.

Kit getting back from the other side.

Me, trying to strike a pose without falling in :).

Okay so Ike, Branson, Dani, and Kandis thought it would cool if they could all be standing on the board at the same time. After watching them for a while I decided to take some pictures. Here they are. . . .



almost . . .

nope :)

. . not this time . .

. . not this time either . .

lol, nope

Getting closer! And I'm pretty sure that's Talysha underneath that life jacket.

Now Kaleb (Zach's brother) & Talysha (Kaleb's wife) have joined in.



As it turns out, they never made it up :) lol

Dani & Kandis


TUBING

Here we have, Ashley, me, Nicole, & Sade.

We found a buoy!

Yeehaw! It's time for the all girls ride!

We're so cute :)


You'll never guess who fell off right here?! Lol


Yep, I fell off first, no surprise there :).


So intense!


Funnest ride ever!


Ha ha, look at our faces!


Yep, that's me, lol!


I think that's Ashley's cute butt :)


I wimped out, and in my place is Isaac!


Here we have Zach, Kit & Luke. Splashing themselves in the faces with there feet.



Lol, the tube was a little lopsided.


ha ha, Zach is like sitting in the water.


Can you see the wheels turning in Zach's head? Those poor ducks, lol :)

SLEEPING
Towards the end of the trip there was a lot of sleeping going on. (Except for Ashley, she slept a lot from the beginning of the trip :), j/k Ash!). Lake Powell wears you out in the best kind of way.
