Lake Powell

This is a shot Bryan took of Bentley. Thank you to Bryan's parents for a great trip to Lake Powell! They provided the houseboat, and food gas etc. for a 5 day stay! I've never eaten so well at Lake Powell! Amy and Marlene had pre-cooked meals for all the days there and frozen them. They were delicious! All of Bryan's siblings were there with spouses and children. We had a nice time and the weather was great.
Bryan took this picture of the place where we camped. The houseboat is in the middle.
This is another cool picture that Bryan took. If you look closely behind that tamarisk tree you will see the houseboat. This is up the shore a ways from where we camped.
Here is Bentley with his turn as captain! Grandpa Rowland let him take a turn at the helm.
This is my attempt to take a picture of the girls and their sand castle. Cecily is yelling at me because she doesn't want a picture.
Me and Moana. Just chillin. Moana was about 8 months pregnant on the trip and she was a trooper. Amy was also pregnant in her first trimester. She had to deal with the nausia and the rocking boat. She's tough though.
Cecily and Brianna.

While at camp we celebrated Brianna's 5th birthday with a birthday party. Her mom, Amy had planned ahead and brought all the decorations, presents and activities for the kids. She even had party bags for the kids including little washcloths that expanded in the water. They were a hit! One of the gifts she got was a face painting set. We had lots of fun doing face painting. Here is a shot of Bentley with the snake on his face and part of the dragon he had on his arm.
Kiah, Brianna and Cecily with their face paintings.

Bentley the toothless swimmer.
Cecily the happy swimmer.
Bentley and Krew. Their favorite things at Powell were, riding the wave runner, swimming, hiking and building sand castles.
Krew, Uncle Shawn and Bentley.
Cecily and her cousins, Brianna and Kiah had fun dancing to the music on the top of the houseboat.
