Lake Powell

We took a vacation with some of Mat's fam to Lake Powell at the end of August, beginning of September. We stayed on a house boat for a week and we took our little bugaboo with us and it was quite an adventure. This was my first time and obviously Madison's first time there as well. Mat use to go with his family at least once a year all growing up and stopped just before we got married. So Mat really enjoyed getting back there. Lake Powell is one of Mat's favorite places on Earth. I have to say that Lake Powell is a very beautiful place. The first day was a little stressful with Madison, but we made it through and the rest of the trip got better. Here are a few pictures from the trip:

The one and only time Madison actually wore an approved US Coast Guard life jacket. Madison hated wearing it every second. The other days we just had her in a swimsuit that had floating devices in it.

At Lake Powell Madison loved to play in the sand. Kaimen, Aiden, Mat, and Madison having fun in the water

Madison and her daddy.

So cute.

Sometimes she liked being in her little tube and other times Madison disliked it.

Madison was fascinated with the ducks in the water at the marina and I thought this was a cute picture of Mat and Madison together.

Here is the view of them from the front looking at the ducks.

Enjoying the wind in her face.

Mat wake-boarding.

A family shot, but couldn't get Madison to look.

These pictures are so high and it is amazing some people a long time ago were able to put them on the walls.

We hiked up to some ancient ruins. They were short people that's for sure.

Madison was being really cute with her Great Grandpa (Mat was trying to take the picture without disturbing them).

We only had one of Madison's book go over board, but Mat was able to quickly get it out of the water. So no major catastrophe's which was nice. I tried wake boarding for the first time and got up on my second try. It was pretty fun trying it out. We enjoyed all the good food, the warm sun, and the beautiful surroundings of Lake Powell.
