LAKE POWELL!!!

Finally on the water. These kayaks are great for Lake Powell. We took Kaden out for his first spin - we chased each other, splashed and enjoyed the waves tossed our way by passing boats. Kaden really liked to help paddle along!

Mom and Kaden went out on the big tube behind the boat. This is a must at the Lake, and he really enjoyed being out there. Much more tube fun to come from this little guy!

After the tube, Mom and Kaden took it easy in the boat! Incidentally, you can tell that the lake is always cooking up a storm for the evening by looking at the sky behind them.

Sunglasses are absolutely required at the lake! The sun is bright, but on the water it is doubled since it reflects off the water. These are Kaden's sunglasses - it took him a bit to settle into them, but he eventually did.

The best part of Lake Powell is a renewed sense of what's really important in life - family. We're so grateful to Grandma and Grandpa who make this blessing possible for us, and we look forward to many, many more Lake Powell adventures over the years.

Finally, below, is a picture of Glen Canyon Dam. It is massive! You take the Dam tour, and talk to Dam tour guides about all the Dam facts. You could visit the Dam gift shop and buy a Dam souvenir or Dam bag of popcorn. Oh, if you need to make a pit stop, there are Dam restrooms too.

Lake Powell trip 2007 was an amazing time - it always is! We've included a few of our favorite moments from the trip. We know that the only way to really feel Lake Powell is to be there yourself, but we hope these pictures help bring a little warmth and fun to your day.
