We are back from our 9-day trip to Lake Powell and had a great time. Ethan and Tanner were such good boys and it was by far the less stressful year since Jared was with us. It's been far too long since he's been able to come and most likely will be far too long before he will get to go again. It was SO nice having him there to play with us and help.
Ethan was so brave this year and loved riding on the boogie board, tubing, the jet ski's, and going down the waterslide off the houseboat. He would have stayed in the water all day if we let him. Carly and I rode with him most often on the tube and it was so funny because Ethan was yelling "faster, faster" as Carly and I are yelling, "No! Slower!" The whole time he was laughing saying such funny things, "Let's do some cool tricks mommy." We were going at a good speed and Ethan held on so well and loved it! We were all in awe. At night the adults played lots of games including Nertz (a fun card game Joel and Carly taught us) while eating homemade ice cream. At the end of the week we got to visit and go to church with Joy since she is an hour away from Lake Powell in Fredonia. It was nice visiting with her for a few hours. She seems to be doing well and enjoying her time there. It was another amazing year at Lake Powell.
