Lake Powell in October? Yep, it's a great time to go!

Every year in October, my extended family goes to Lake Powell. We have a timeshare on a houseboat and it falls on the second week of October. I know what you're thinking -- Lake Powell, in October??? Ok, some years the weather is rainy, windy, or both. (That just gives us a good excuse to stay in and play games all day!) But this year it was beautiful! The weather was sunny and 85 degrees. We swam, skied, tubed, rode the slide and had a great time! The best part of going at this time of year is it actually cools off at night, so you sleep all night without covering yourself with wet towels. (Done that many times in July and August!)

We missed Cyd and Rich. They didn't come because Cyd was ready to pop anyday. We missed Johnny and Nicole because they were on a much bigger boat...called the Carnival Cruise. LUCKY! But we still had lots of good laughs!

Here are some pictures to show you how much fun we had!
Go, Ally, Go!!!



Yep, that's Kade flying high!!! And he wants
everyone to knowthat he DIDN'T fall off!

Khloe is not sure if she is having fun or not. But she was sure excited to ride on the tube! She wasn't scared at all!

I think I should win an award for this photo! Doesn't it look like it should be in a magazine or something? Pure luck, no skill.


Look at these cute little faces! I can't believe Chaquita (the dog) lived through the week. Khloe carried her around by her neck for 4 days straight! You can see the pain in the little dog's eyes in this photo. Poor thing!



Here's Kade catching a fish with Grandpa. Too bad it wasn't big enough to keep and eat, but it was fun to see him reel it in all by himself!!! (By the way, nice shorts, Dad. And you're fishing, not deer hunting! HeeHee)
