Powell - family trip


Antelope Canyon

Last October Q, mom, and I hiked from the lake up as far as we could go in Antelope so this summer it was our goal to finish it from the top down so we could see it all. Wo, I can't believe I've been going to Powell all summer my entire life and hadn't done this until now! It is breathtaking, worth the fee, and a MUST-SEE! We did upper and lower Antelope in the same day so we wouldn't have to double pay the Navajo Nation fee. More pics to come (because I took about 300) but for now, let these very few tide you over.



Mom's Bday

We spent Mom's big day at Powell (per her request) and did everything she wanted to do- that included Antelope and driving all the way up the San Juan arm as far as we could go in a ski boat- which was AWESOME. Sorry- you'll have to wait for those pictures too.... In the meantime we did this:

...Matt and Mark also doubled on the knee board (and when I say doubled, I mean it: two guys to one board).


Where NOT to camp:

Apparently they had beef to dinner (hehehe :)


Meg in Warm Creek.


Pretty hot mom! ... and agile too- look at that form!


Glass!


FUN FACTS ABOUT MOM:

  • She has NEVER colored her hair- yep folks, that is %100 perfect natural amazingness.
  • When asked what she wanted for her big birthday, she requested a Magic Bullet and pencil sharpener.
  • She has been at Lake Powell for a solid month and there is no food in her house when I go over :(

Hey Nicole- we found your blog! I can't believe your mom is 50--she seems much younger! I'm guessing you heard the news that we'll be moving back to good ol' St. George. We're excited to be able to spend more time with you and Quinn!
