Todd finally returns to Lake Powell

Last week we took a trip down to Lake Powell. We haven't been down there since I was pregnant with Deacon. I think Todd has definitely been having some serious withdrawls! So after a LONG day of driving we arrived at Halls. Todd's Dad and Peg were there to greet us. And everything was already set up at camp which was an added bonus! We really had a fun time even though our time was short! We boated, chased lizards, swam, spied striper boils, built sandcastles, collected sea shells, etc. . . The only thing on our list we didn't do was find some crawdads. Maybe next time :) Thanks Dad and Peg for the great time!

Fun in the car!


Deacon wore his ninja turtle goggles so long they fogged up!



We got to ride the ferry over from Bullfrog

Aaawwwwww :)

Catching lizards




We left Powell on Friday afternoon and drove to Scofield Reservoir to catch the tail end of the Skinner Reunion. It was great to see everyone and catch up a little. And thank you Brian for giving up your room--I think that was the comfiest bed I've ever slept in :)

Coleman loved riding on the 4-wheeler. He didn't want me to stop!

That looks like so much fun! Aric seriously pouted for 3 WHOLE HOURS after seeing the Lake Powell pictures. We'll definitely have to try for next year :)

One of these days we'll have to coordinate a trip to Powell together. Eric has such fond memories of Powell with Todd. Looks like you guys have been having a fun summer. Your boys are super cute! (And I decided tonight that Todd looks like Lance Armstrong. Have you ever thought that?)

Love the TMNT goggles. My nephews are so cute. Coleman has changed so much since I last saw him.

I love that family reunion pic of you, Mare, you look so happy which is the Mare I remember. I always thought Lake Powell would be fun without being pregnant and without having a nursing baby! Your family is so dang cute and its cute to see mini Todds and Mares running around. Love, Emily B.
