Relaxation to the Max!

Brad and I just returned from an 8 day vacation. It was wonderful! We started out at the cabin up in Brian Head which had nice cool weather and then finished up down at hot Lake Powell on the houseboat.
We had a great time at the cabin with our friends and neighbors the Lepores. We got to GeoCache, which we love to do. The best part was just relaxing and visiting. I do have to say that the night that we played Apples to Apples was so much fun. Maybe it was because it was late and we were all in that laugh at anything mood, I loved it!
Brad took this picture of me after I made breakfast, he though it was so funny; I didn't! I had just made german pancakes and I didn't factor in the altitude and the glass pan so, yep, they were trying to climb out of the pan. Everyone said that they tasted fine. I've had better.


Our days down at the houseboat consisted of more relaxing and lots of playing. For the first few nights we were camped by this big sand hill that we would hike up every morning. By we I don't so much mean me. I did go up part of the way. One morning my brother-in-law Mark hiked up it five times in a row, WOW, he is amazing! Here are some pictures of Brad and I on the sand hill. Brad jumped down the hill and I jogged.

















Of course there was lots of time for Brad to wake board and for me to take pictures and wish that I could be wake boarding. One day while Brad was wake boarding the water was pretty rough and he got out of control on one of his jumps. It was awesome, but he was sore for the next couple of days. Poor guy! Here is the video.



Exciting moments: Ted and Tina's dog Bullet found a rattlesnake on the beach about 3 feet from the houseboat! A guy that we didn't know jumped off the cliff by our houseboat from really high up and tried to do a back flip. Well, he over rotated and did a back flop. Ouch! He came up with a hurt back that was bleeding, that's gonna leave a mark! Squirrels fighting over peanuts. Almost getting caught in a storm on our way back from Rainbow Bridge. Finding our kayak out in the channel (who was in charge of tying that one up?!).Thanks Ted and Tina for another wonderful family vacation!
