Lake Powell

Get ready for picture overload...

We were able to go to Lake Powell with the McMullin family. It's so fun with themes for every day we are such as Hawaiian day, Pirate day and sports day. I'm a sucker for any theme!

Arggghhh Matee! Austin was in pirate heaven.

Cade and John buried a treasure box full of booty up in the rocks.

The booty!

Our Mexican fiesta. The pinata turned into a slug fest between all the boys.






We had a lot of first timers at Lake Powell with us so we made sure to hit all the major landmarks like the ruins in Forgotten Canyon, Rainbow bridge, and Hole in the Rock


Rainbow Bridge with the whole crew.
Little did we know Kid Rock was going to be there. I zoomed in for you so you could see him in all his hairy glory.










Brock kept falling asleep everywhere we went poor kid. Here is fell asleep on the boat with his hand in the cookie bag. We stopped for ice cream at Halls Crossing and he wouldn't even wake up for that. This can't be my kid.






It was so fun to have Garet and Sharee and Bryan and Cecilie there. Game night, scuba diving, midnight ski run...you guys always guarantee a good time.











Every year Martha gives out awards the last night of Powell. John won the Best Golfer award. Austin won the Crocodile Dundee award because every log he saw he would yell "CROCODILE!" I won the Double-Fisted award. I can't imagine why?

Just think, we were both in the same place, what would be the odds we could actually have seen each other??? I was so mad, when we went to get ice cream at Dangling Rope they were all out! NO FAIR!!!

Hey Christy- I was looking at the Kunz's blog and I recognized your name on the sidebar. My husband (Aaron Edmonds) was the punter on the BYU football team one of the years that your husband was there. It's been such a long time! Your boys are adorable and you have a beautiful family! Our blog is at edmondskids.blogspot.com.
