and the sun in your face as you run up and down the lake at Lake Powell. Lake Powell has always been one of Ian's favorite vacations. The kids totally have a blast and it is so fun to teach the kids all the water sports. This year the whole family was able to make it to Powell in honor of Claudette. Despite the houseboat being a little snug for 12 adults and 12 children, we were able to have a load of fun. Sherida was amazing -- planning the whole event and getting enough food and toys to keep us all occupied. We swam, slid, boated, knee boarded, wake boarded, skied, hiked, cliff jumped, tubed, jet skied, fished (Kadan was fisherman extraordinaire), made bouncy balls, sculpted sand, played cards (of course Holly kicked our tushes), watched fireworks (compliments of crazy Ian and Danny Boy), kicked the boy's rumps in Catch Phrase and ate our hearts out (thanks to Chef Broc). The boys became knee boarding champions (even trying tricks) and the girls would not come off the tubes. I was so thankful that all the kids were safe during this trip -- it is always a little stressful being in the water with kids that do not swim (Bo) but after lots of prayers, cool "Turtle" wristbands that will alarm when wet and very close supervision, we all made it without an incident.

sounds like you had a real blast pictures are cool to look at
HOW FUN!! I'm so glad your kids were safer on the boat this year given the scare with Bo last year.
Zach was just checking out the pics and said "I want to be in there. I want to be in Arizona with those guys." He misses his buds!
Looks like soooooo much fun. I glad that you all got to go and enjoy each others company I know it was hard not have Claudette there but she would want it no other way she loved the annual Brimhall trip to Lake Powell every year.
