Broken Boat Can't Ruin Our Fun!

We just got back from this year's trip with Brett's family to Lake Powell. What a great week we had (even though our boat broke AGAIN!) We just can't seem to get our boat working. I'm starting to think the darn thing is cursed after having a terrible time with repairs last year and now this year not working. Brett even took it for a trial spin a few weekends ago at Utah Lake and Lake Powell and all seemed to be in working order (he forgets that he is married to me and that if something is going to go wrong it will).

Despite the boat not working we still managed to have a great time as others had boats for skiing and tubing.



Brett's dad always seems to come with an idea every year for the kids. This year's idea was to make a giant slip and slide out of plastic sheeting. It didn't work but it was a great idea. On the day we packed up they had to fold up the plastic sheet and it was really windy. We realized that the plastic was making a better kite than slip and slide and it took Brett off his feet and knocked him to the ground.



Brett also celebrated a birthday at Powell and I made him wear a Burger King crown (a Twilight one) he would kill me if I posted it though so you're out of luck on that picture.

The kids enjoyed swimming, launching water balloons at wave runners, eating pancake breakfasts, hiking to high places, exploring places they called Pirate Island, Scorpion Island and Coco Moco Cave (all names they made up).







It is a lot of work taking a trip to Powell but well worth the good times we have. Hopefully we will be able to figure out what is wrong with the boat so we can use it soon. My fingers are crossed.
