Powell Getaway

We had our yearly Lake Powell trip last week with Blake's family and even though I was hesitant on going I had a great time! My doctor told me that even though I've started dilating (1.5 cm and 75%) that it would be fine to go and I should enjoy myself!! I was able to be in the water and ride on the boats - we had great weather and Ashlyn loved the water, and Blake enjoyed the Air Chair... The water has risen 22 ft since last summer because of all the rain/snow up north so we had a bit of a "stickery" beach, although the views of the lake were beautiful!


Ashlyn wore this safety vest while on the beach so her real life jacket wouldn't rub her little cheeks raw!

She had to test out Blake's mom's chap stick every chance she could!

She loved it when Blake would dunk her hair in the water!

After the first day she became a "little fish"

Took many rides on daddy's back

jumped off the trampoline

copied everything daddy did

Was always excited on our way to the water in the mornings (we stayed in a hotel at night)

So you might not believe I'm 9 months pregnant in this picture, but the love handles may give it away! Nonetheless it made me feel not so huge, well at least until I turned side ways...

"Sandy Hill" - a lot of the kids sand boarded down it

The Powell grandkids with Blake's parents (*yes Ashlyn is the one crying in the back right on papa's lap)

A family picture before baby

She had to help daddy "drive" the boat

Another family shot while swimming in the shade

Blake did great on the Air Chair and landed a few back flips, as did his brother Trent

Okay, you are the cutest pregnant woman! You are so tiny. I was HUGE at 9 months. Looks like you guys had so much fun! Ah, I miss Page/Lake Powell. I didn't appreciate growing up there when I was little, now I miss/love it. I'm glad you guys had a great time, love the pictures!
