Lake Powell

The kids and I went to Lake Powell this last weekend with some friends of mine (Cole was supposed to be hunting with his dad, but ended up working all weekend)....anyways... it was our first time and it was SOOOO much fun!

The kids were SOO good and loved the water. The second morning we were there, the first thing Shyler said to me when she woke up, "Mom, can I go play in the sand?"...and out she went in her life jacket to play in the sand and swim...at 7:00 in the morning!

Easton was hilarious and I have to capture some of the things he said before I forget:

We were swimming out in the middle of the lake and he says to me, "Did someone fart?" I replied, "Why do you think someone farted?" "Because I farted!" he said, followed by a giggle.

He got bounced off the tube and as soon as we got the boat stopped, we yelled for Shyler and Chris (the other little boy with us) to jump off the tube and go get him so he wasn't scared. When we pulled the boat around, we all said, "See, you didn't sink!" and he replied, "Yea, but I did do a backflip!"

The last day before we headed home, they took one more swim...we had already drained the sewage on the houseboat, so when he said he had to pee, we said, well swim over there and pee... so we all watched his face as he pulled his "pee face" and then let out a little sigh... we all laughed and I said, "Did you pee?" and he yelled, "Not anymore, I'm already done!" haha

And my favorite... I came out of the water after wakeboarding (or my best attempt at it) and Easton looks at me and says, "Mom, you look really cute"... melt my heart...
