After the long drive and sleeping in the trailer we finally get to hit the lake! We are all so excited to be at Lake Powell. I decided that I was going to leave the girls home since Sadie is only 10 months old. Since I already was paying a babysitter I decided to leave Abbie home also. Since Trevor had to work this was a wonderful trip to spend with Mitchell and Austin!
Jonathan was such a trooper! He stayed in the water and helped all the boys learn to waterski. We eventually tied a bouy on his lifejacket so boats would see him in the water. Thank you Jonathan. We were at Halls Marina and MacKay decided to get a closer look at the carp. He was looking so closely that he decided to go swimming (fell in) with about 100 carp. I sure wish I had a picture of that!
This is one amazing woman! Mom is 64 years old and she still loves to waterski! She is such a wonderful skiier. I love her grace and her noseplugs!
Since dad had his hip replacement he can no longer waterski! Since the airchair (or SkySki) has you sitting and you are strapped in tight he can airchair. Of course he got up on his first tries! We watched a video of how to do this and the next day dad went through all the steps (plane, foil, jump, etc...). However, he did all the steps in about 10 seconds and then crashed! I tried this and it is so hard. You get up and automatically sky high and then nose dive and crash!
Mitchell and Tanner were amazing on this trip. They were outgoing, fun, and so brave. They could not get enough s-turns and donuts on the Molecule. I can not believe they are getting so much older and they will start the 6th grade this year! They are growing up too fast for me!
Tanner made this trip so much fun!
Mitchell is hanging on for dear life!
Austin is so cool!!!
Tate and Sarah were so much fun. I loved staying in the same room as them. Sarah would put Tater to sleep and then she and I would talk until around 11:15 p.m.
I do not know of two more amazing people! I love my parents dearly. They are not just amazing parents, but I look up to them and admire them for all that they do and how they live their lives! Thank you for such a wonderful trip and amazing memories!
Hunter, Sydney, Austin and Rachel loved sitting in the bow of the boat to feel the wind in their hair! Sydney and Hunter wanted to go swimming every time the boat stopped.
Mitchell, Jonathan and Tanner had a blast on the Molecule! Jonathan was so awesome! Many times Jonathan had his arm around the boy on the outside of the wake in order to help them stay on the Mollie when it looked like they might get dumped. Or was it so he had a better grip to stay on himself?!?
Mitchell and Tanner were the first brave souls to let Grandpa Tate have free reign on s-turns and donuts. They got dumped a few times and got right back on for more! They are
soooo cool!
Wow! Austin had fun skiing! I think he was a little nervous but he got out there and went for it! He loved swimming and riding the Molecule!
I can not believe how brave Mitchell was on this trip. Rachel wanted to go cliff jumping and Mitchell looked at me and said, "Mom, can I go?" I did not even have to ask him if he wanted to. He also loved the S-turns and donuts on the Molecule!
It was so much fun to have Tanner come with us! Even when he had a hard crash and hurt his leg on the Mollie he was tough and got back out there shortly after! He was so helpful and thoughtful. What a delight he is!
