Lake Powell or Bust!





We had a great Memorial weekend. We did get rained on in Powell for the first 2 days, but then it cleared up. We had a great time with Brekkin & Scotty. We hiked up to Rainbow Bridge, it was wonderful. We found a camp spot on a little beach next to a canyon wall. The first night it downpoured, but was it cool! because we were next to a wall we had a few waterfalls from the rain that night. I can't even explain how beautiful it was. Well because of the rain the lake was rising really fast, so we had to move their tent about a foot higher everyday. Talk about a buzz-kill, poor Jake & Scotty they were some workers. Oh well all we had to promise was dinner and some beers by the campfire. Oh yeah, we lost our campfire to the lake on the second day and had to recreate a new one. The picture I got was on our last night, so we tore down the tent and just put the air mattress on the boat for Scotty & Brekkin to sleep on. Let's just say us girls ended up sleeping below with the boys sharing the air mattress. It was quite funny, I can't believe I did not get a picture. I must say we had a very fun memorial!!!

Hey Melissa...this is a little blast from your past, Amy Hyde. I just saw your link on the DHS Blog and wanted to say HI.
You look happy and wonderful and beautiful as well. What cute kids!
I haven't really gotten into letting all of DHS know about us, but if you want to see my blog, it is jandafarr.blogspot.com
Take care.
PS I can't believe that McKenzie is 20. Wasn't she supposed to stay 4 forever?
