Lake Powell
Over this last weekend we were able to squeeze in a quick trip to Lake Powell with a few of the neighbors on our block. They had been talking to us about going out there since last summer, but our schedules hadn't worked until now. It's a pretty cool place. It's like being in a river in the grand canyon (which i suppose it is...just not quite to Grand Canyon). We met up with some of Abby's cousins there and it was Blake's first camping trip. So, we tackled his first camping trip in a place we hadn't been before...probably not a good idea in most cases, but it worked out well. We made our way down the river about 10 miles on Saturday to Annie's Canyon where we spent lunch in a cove of giant rocks. It's hard to imagine the size of them without seeing it, but it's pretty impressive. We met up with the neighbors on our way back...they came a little after us with some friends of there's.
Camping went good. Blake did great actually. We put him in dirty clothes and let him run around at the campsite. He thought it was pretty awesome. He would site down and just play in the dirt, then he would run around and try to eat rocks...good times.
Sunday we went and explored a canyon about 10 miles up the river where there's a hike known as the slot. Basically you boat in as far as you can, then you anchor down and hike the rest of the way and the canyon gets narrower and narrower the further you go. Pretty soon it is only like 4 feet wide and straight up for at least 50 feet. Pretty cool.
We got in some good end of the season wakeboarding and feel like we had a good end to the season. I think we're ready for the next season to start. Time to shut it down for the season and get ready for the next.
