Lake Powell

We went to Lake Powell the first weekend in June to check out my dad's new boat. While the boat rides we took were very pleasant, the camping on Lone Rock Beach was kind of miserable. We arrived Friday night around 8:30 PM. We set up camp and decided to go to bed early since we had stayed up so late the night before packing. Well, there was this house boat that was docked in a bay right next to us (why they docked at Lone Rock with a house boat I will never understand). The house boat people stayed up until 2:30 AM laughing, screaming, drinking, swearing, blaring music, etc. Calina woke me up around 5:30 AM, so needless to say we didn't get much sleep... But the next day we did have a really great time on the boat. It was a very fun, very tiring day. We ended the day by eating Pizza at Wahweep for dinner. When we got back to camp we found a 1/2" layer of sand over everything that was in our tent. It was about 9:00 PM by then, so past time for our girls to be in bed and the prospect of getting our tent ready for sleep was just too much, so we ended up packing up camp and going home. We left around 10 PM and didn't get home until 1:30 AM. We crashed pretty hard the next day!! I still feel like I'm trying to recuperate from the trip! Here are some pictures:Jessica and Cambrie fell asleep on Colby.

Here we all are posing in front of Rainbow Bridge. It was a fun hike we took (about 1.25 miles one way).

The thing that surprised us all was that Calina loved the boat more than most of us. She just seemed so content and happy, even in the high winds and sunshine. We kept sunscreen and cover on her all day and avoided sunburn, thankfully! We're thinking the constant rocking must have been right up her alley!
