Lake Powell '12

What a great year at Lake Powell! I may venture to guess that it was the best one for me so far. It was so much fun to have Ryker there. It made everything that much more exciting.

Ryker and I left before Nate because he had school and decided to come up with papa the next day. My awesome nephew, Jordan, was cool enough to ride with me so we had a fun trip talking and listening to music. Ryker did really well the entire way there! There was one point where he got a little carsick because we were going through some windy roads and he was watching a movie on the laptop. I looked back and his face was green... Poor kid.


Along the way we stopped at a clothing store in Kanab and tried on some hats. Ryker thought it was pretty fun.

As it turned out, Nate, Papa and James got stalled in Salt Lake for another day so we hung out with Jodi and Paul and their family for the day. We found a close beach and played in the sand and water all day. Ryker and Colby had so much fun.
So... This wasn't a fun part of the trip but I got the flu for a day! Ugh. Sadly, it ran rampant throughout the entire family. Pretty much everyone threw up over the side of the boat that trip.

After I got all better, we had a great time. Ryker loved the water weeny - Although this picture may not suggest it.

Cute cousins on the water weeny!


Ryker LOVED the jet ski more than anything else. He wanted to be on it the whole time.

This year there was an unfortunate accident in Lake Powell before we came. A person died during a storm in the canyon we were in and when they were looking for the body we couldn't wake board or anything so we had some time to hang out at the houseboat and play games and go hiking.

Cute Ryker! So there is a story to his red nose: It had been like that for about a week and we'd tried to see if there was anything up there but without success. It continued to seep the entire trip until the last day when Nate held his other nostril and told Ryker to blow through his nose... Out came who-knows-what! It was gooey and black and... YUCK! Poor little kid.
