Lake Powell 2019!

I look forward to this trip every year!
This year the whole Bailey family came, and we rented a spider infested house boat.
It's a good thing my family planned on tenting it anyway. There is no way I could have slept in the houseboat with all those spiders!
We stayed new Bullfrog.
The weather was great!
It was really nice having everybody there.
However with so many people it was a little harder to plan the day. With over thirty people there, not every body wanted to do the same thing. Which is bound to happen.
The kids loved the water. Bensen liked it the least, he was ready to go home after two days...he would rather be home playing Minecraft! 
It was fun finding shade during the hottest part of the day, swimming in the cool water, and having lunch.
A few of us hiked up Forgotten Canyon to see the ruins.


It was so hot! But this is a favorite hike. It wasn't too long this year.


Wesley will tell you his favorite thing was cliff jumping! I think this activity is everyone's favorite, with the exception of Bensen. He will do it, but he doesn't love it.
Even Viv loved it!





The kids could seriously stay on the water all day! And they pretty much do.










Just outside of our campsite there was a little island. We had a lot of fun playing on it.




Jaycee can still ski, I don't think Wes tried this year, and I don't think Bensen will ever try. Viv was mad that she didn't get a turn.😁

Wesley and the boys had a lot of fun chasing the lizards and frogs. This was the biggest one he caught.
We got to drive Grandpa Max's boat on our way out, because he was driving the houseboat, and it was slow,  we got to cliff jump one more time!
Then each of the kids in the boat got a turn driving the boat!
It was a great trip, I look forward to it every year! Mike is a trooper and lets us go even though it is not his favorite.
Jaycee started school on the 13th.

She did so good! I think I was more nervous then she was!
