Lake Powell 2010

We went to Lake Powell at the end of June beginning of July, but I am finally catching up on the blog. We had so much fun! The first few days, it was just Mark and LaFaunda, me, Stu and Abby and Tim, Holly and Marky. Those days were nice and relaxing and quiet minus Abby. Then Michele and Dan and there fam joined us then the next day, my parents, Emily and her fam joined us. It was a party! All of the kids loved being together and Abby loved watching them. It was nice to have some kids (and more grandparents,) to entertain Abby. Abby had a rough time sleeping there. We were up between 5:30am and 7:00am every morning which is not like her. She usually sleeps until at least 9:00am. So, Stu and I spent a lot of the trip a little tired. Abby loved playing in the sand, she wasn't quite sure about the water. It wasn't quite warm enough for her. Her favorite thing was climbing the stairs in the house boat. She became quite efficient at climbing. Thanks to Grandma Lafaunda we got to go out on the boat a few times with out Abby since she hated her life jacket. We had a great time with family and friends, but we were excited to come home and get Abby back on her schedule and take a real shower. Here are a lot of pictures, and these are just a few of them.
Abby driving the house boat!
Don't take a picture of my crazy sunscreen hair!!!
It was too much work to put a swimsuit on Abby for the five minutes we were outside so there are a lot of nude pictures!
The boys tuckered out!


The crew playing Monopoly Deal. That was played a lot on this trip.

Mmmm, Otter Pops
Grandma gave Abby licorice. I think here was more on Grandma than Abby when they were all through.
Abby loved Otter Pops too.
Every night Abby got a bath in the sink because she had watermelon for dinner and always made such a mess.
