Lake Powell Round 2

All 10 of us.
We had a great secluded spot.

Will is such an awesome wake boarder...even @ age 43!



I finally got some pics from Jen Allred, of our anual ADULTS ONLY trip to LP...yah...the trip where on one of our adventurous hikes my camera got dropped in the water!  We had a such a great time with the other 4 couples, and it was fun meeting a few new people too.  Our friend's brother started the huge "Powellooza", which is a 3 day party (watch it on youtube- it's nuts!) on the lake for college kids that have to pay a pretty penny to attend.  It was going to take place a few days after we went, so we got asked to haul down a few of the water toys they would be using...and give them a test run! Our favorite was the "hamster ball".  Once it is rolled up a big sand hill, you climb inside and strap yourself in.  Then you are let go to roll down the entire hill, turning over and over until it rolls into the water, which obviously floats and doesn't take in water. So, it is soooo scary, but soooo fun! I haven't laughed so hard as I did that day seeing everyone go down.  It was a blast! It was sure comforting to know we had Darren and Scott (both doctors-one being a surgeon) along with us on anything dangerous we did, just in case we needed medical attention :)...there were a few close calls. We did the usual late night card games, projector movies, boating/wake boarding all day long, hikes, dinners @ the marina.  We always come back needing another vacation because we play so hard, and don't get enough sleep.  Can't wait for next time!
