POWELL

Ok, so my family has been going to Lake Powell every summer since I was like... 2.

We just returned from our latest trip-which was very fun, despite the lack of doing anything on my part.

So they say a picture is worth a thousand words... so here are 21,000 words for you-plus a little commentary. :)

First, some lovely landscapes, all photos taken by yours truly :)

 

 BEAUTIFUL clear waters :)

 the way I spent most of my week.

 the book.

loved it. easy/quick read. read it in an afternoon. tears and laughter.

it starts slow and is a little tacky but the author's/character's sense of humor is remarkably close to my own so i just thought it was hilarious :)

 ok, there's a white spot in this rock on this rock that looks like pac man.

this photo does no justice.

 so the boys just spent their week digging holes.....

the first one is pictured above and the second below.

the first one was HUGE! and perfectly square, and they dug right down to the sand stone.

the second was smaller, round (obviously) and they filled it with water to float in-which actually worked surprisingly....

 sand castle? try city.

 So, near Waweap is the Glen Canyon Dam (pictured below)

(sorry the pic is blurry, it was taken out of the window driving 30+mph)

 We went into town and saw.....

 ok, it was too funny not to take a picture.

also, at the Dam Plaza, there is the....

 and the....

 haha sorry it was just too funny :)

 our beach as we drove away :'(

driving home, came around a corner in the canyon and this is what we see. too gorgeous NOT to take a picture.

All and all it was a fantastic and relaxing week! I had a lot of fun-even though the collar bone kept me from wake-boarding, tubing, etc. I had lots of naps, read a lot, and was able to enjoy a fantastic week

{Also I realized that this was probably my last family trip to Lake Powell of my youth... :'( but let's not dwell on it.}
