Makenna found our camera!! We had completely given up hope, but when she was packing for soccer practice, she found it in a bag of rice krispie treats. YEAH! So belatedly, here are some highlight pictures. NO, this is not all of them, but probably most.
The kids all went up top when we first launched the boat.We were on our way to find a camping spot.
This is how Makenna looked every time we went anywhere. Hat on head, blowing in the wind.
This is on the beginning of the forced march to the Indian Ruins.
Indian paintings, hundreds of years old. Isaac and Matt saw the dwellings, the girls went back to the water.
Inside the cave, just before everyone jumped into the water for a chilly, but very echo-y swim.
Working on the ultimate sand castle.
Shaping, digging, decorating.
Adding the next layer. That was a very heavy cooler full of red sludge.
Rainbow Bridge. The largest natural bridge in the world.
Good thing we have some kids to hold it up. Kind of.
We're trying to get him sponsored.
If we had a few more kids pushing, that rock would be in the river right now.
Makenna and Alie
Jessica and Jaimi
Makenna, Rylie and Jess playing monkeys on the anchor ropes.
Makenna going off the slide.
Jess flew off in the craziest poses.
Brave Isaac tried diving a few times.
Matt went straight through that tube! I wouldn't have thought it possible if I hadn't seen it.
Karen wakeboarding. Is that one word?
Matt getting up.
Getting ready to jump. Daddy and his girls.
Matt gets bonus points for that action shot. 
Makenna's big jump
Isaac had been waiting and waiting for me to finally go. 
There he goes. No hesitation.
Writing in the sand in Holey Frog Canyon.
No explanation needed.
The boat is tied off several hundred yards back. We had to swim through a very narrow canyon to get here.
You can sort of see the weird holes carved into the ground.
Our family about to swim back to the boat.
All the cousins after an ice cream break at Hall's Crossing. And real flushing toilets. 
Playing on the beach.
Jumping off the house boat. These are the brave 3.
Jaimi and Isaac on one of the many, many canoe trips.
Bye mom, we're going on a ride.

Wow. Those pictures are way more beautiful and bigger than I had been picturing it. Looks like a fabulous time. And I love your family picture at rainbow bridge.
ReplyDeleteHello, Karen! Glad you have your camera back! I felt so bad. I am glad you have a blog going, I have been trying to get the family to do this for awhile! Hope all is going great! Kelly
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun! We haven't been to Lake Powell in WAY too long. So great that you found the camera. We lost one on a trip and it was so sad that all the pictures were gone.
