We had so so much fun with this years Powell trip! We got to stay on our aunt and uncles house boat, which was a big improvement from camping on the beach last year (Not that that wasn't fun too). We enjoyed good food, played all day everyday, and made so many memories including knee boarding, tubing, jumping off the house boat, night swimming, Jeff jumping off a 40 ft cliff, Lily showing her fearless side by jumping off everything she could, letting Owen get as dirty as he wanted, Owen getting to spend quality time with cousins, getting to know my newer brothers in law, the boys getting up every morning to fish, watching Owen enjoy HOURS of playing on the beach, riding on the wave runners, spending time with Clark, snuggling Owen in our bed, and loving every second in the sun with family. It's getting harder and harder to get the whole family together and I'm learning to cherish the rare times that we do.
I was surprised by how well Owen did the entire time. From wearing his life vest practically 24/7, to sleeping, to napping, to spending 6+ hours on the beach at a time he was a champ! And not only did he tolerate it, but he LOVED it. He woke up every morning saying "wa-wa!" (water). I sure love him.
I can't wait till next year! :)
