Lake Powell Round 1

 Posts coming in 2 batches: these from the Nikon DSLR
(next post from the waterproof Nikon)
We found a fantastic beach this year up Gunsight and spent plenty of time enjoying the sand and shallow water. The crew worked on this creation Friday morning and called it the Olympic Village:
 
 Bentley water skied! (Caroline's try didn't work out as well and ended with a lot of water up her nose--so proud of her for readily trying though!) And both kids LOVED tubing even as Caroline nearly flipped out of her seat--always laughing and thinking every bump was great fun!
 Cares quickly decided she would be Mason's "mini Mom" and doted on him often
 When we needed down time or relief from the sun the kids had plenty of supplies to "do a little art"
 Sparklers on top of the houseboat to celebrate the 24th of July and the summer olympics.
My cute mom had all sorts of events and activities planned so we could compete in our own LP olympics on Friday. And then we gathered up to watch the opening ceremonies (did they seem kind of slow and tame to anyone else? All of us in Powell kept waiting for something—or anything really— to happen)
 Kids' medal ceremony

 Of course there were hours and hours of swimming too
(more pics of water play coming...)

You have some great photos. What good memories! It was a fun time together. Loved your kids' enthusiasm for the water, Caroline mothering an appreciative Mason, the beautiful scenery, and being together. (and winning in Canasta ;-)

you always have to "do a little art"

LP Olympics sounds so fun, as does everything. Max looked at these with me and said " I miss the houseboat". tearjerker
