Lake Powell

We were so lucky to go to Lake Powell this year with our good friends the Jensen's.  We stayed on a house boat with them and their friend's Dave and Lindsey Smith and their daughter Kaylee.  Lake Powell is so breath taking and relaxing.  We enjoyed wake boarding, knee boarding, swimming, cliff jumping, hiking, and spending time together.  AJ tried wake boarding again this year and did really well.  He learned how to get up and would even stay up for about a minute.  Ethan attempted wake boarding for the first time.  Jocelyn was amazing at knee boarding as were the boys.  Tayler came with us this year and we brought along Grandpa Bentley's boat.  Tayler really took to wake boarding this year and couldn't get enough.  The boys enjoyed fishing right off the houseboat and caught some big fish.

Lagoon

Lagoon was a ton of fun this year.  My sister's Tayler, Brittany, and Evette joined us this year.  We spent one day at Lagoon and one day at Lagoona Beach.  The kids really love this fun summer activity.

Bear Lake

We enjoyed a weekend at Bear Lake.  It was Austin's Birthday so Grandma planned a luau complete with a pinata.  It was rough getting going on Saturday morning when we wanted to go boating.  First the battery was dead so we had to go buy a new one.  After we launched we discovered that there was no wake board rope in the boat.  So Austin left to go buy one.  So the rest of us found a spot to go swimming.  We turned off the boat and when it was time to go it wouldn't start.  So we had to wait about an hour before it would start again.  Hours later we finally were able to wake board.  The water was rough so I didn't do so well wake boarding but was able to knee board.  The highlight of the day was that Jocelyn knee boarded for the first time!!  Jon was in the water with her to get her started.  We went pretty slow and she did great.  Her second go around she got up on her knees, but Austin was driving too slow so her board got flooded and fell off.  She was fine though and went for one more ride.  She was so proud of herself when she was finished and said she couldn't wait to tell Rachel and Tavia.

Ready, Set Jump!!

Jon took the kids down to the river one afternoon.  When they got home Jocelyn was so excited to tell me she had jumped off the bridge!!  I got pictures of the next time she jumped!!

Mr. Cool

We went school shopping while we were in Utah.  AJ picked out this pink shirt, skinny jeans, and wide rimmed hat.  His Aunt Jessica wanted him to model his outfit.

Seven Peaks

We spent one day at Seven Peaks.  It was a blast!!  The kids were really brave and were willing to try most of the slides.  Jocelyn did everything she was tall enough for.

Baby Goats

We were able to visit Nate's goats and horses.  Jocelyn was in heaven holding all the baby goats.  She even took a stroll on the horse.
