My family just got back from Lake Powell yesterday. That place really is heaven on earth! It is so beautiful. The bulk of the family left on Sunday and then JP, me, my dad, and Jamie left on Tuesday. (Jeremy was not able to make it unfortunately) We brought the rain with us. It was raining when we got there and rained for the next two days. Luckily it was not all day it was just in the afternoon. Thanks to all the snow we got this year the lake has gone up and the cut through is open again. This opened a whole part of the lake we have not seen in years. Here are the highlights..
*We visited Rainbow Bridge and Dangling Rope. My dad rented a boat that fit all of us and we packed the cooler with food. We went up a lot of canyons on our way back and Jess got lots of neat pictures.
*A bat wanted to sleep with my mom one night and this caused a lot of commotion. I slept right through it but others were woken up.
*JP and Tanner would go frog hunting every night. They took empty gallon bottles and cut the top off to put the frogs in.
*The Olympics started while we were there so we watched the opening ceremonies.
*Walmart. Lake Powell trips are not complete without a visit to the local Walmart. (Although again I missed this because we came down later.)
*Water skiing and wake boarding. Kim, Jess and I went skiing and Whitney, and Kim went wake boarding. Whitney provided lots of entertainment while she was wake boarding!
*Tubing. Whitney has figured out the best way to be on the tube, sit with your bum in the middle. It is harder for you to fall off. This also provides lots of entertainment for those in the boat.
*Ice cream. We got some ice cream at Dangling Rope and when ever we went into the dock, which was about everyday. Coming back from Dangling Rope Tanner was sitting in the front of the boat. He got a root beer float. We went over a bump and some of his beverage flew out and hit people in the back of the boat. My dad told him to dump the rest of his drink and that is exactly what he did. Luckily my dad ducked and did not get hit.
*Food. I don't know what it is but when we are at Lake Powell we eat and eat.
*Strombollis. This is a restaurant in Page and it is good. My dad does wonder if it is really that good or if it is that we are just that hungry. They have a special at lunch and you can get pizza or pasta, and a bottomless salad. The salad is really good! They put cheese, tomatoes, olives, green peppers, and onions on it.
*Glen Canyon Dam. We visited the visitors center and walked across the bridge. When a semi came across the bridge the whole thing would shake. It was scary!
I really do LOVE Lake Powell!!!!!
