I call this annual trip "My trip to the 2nd happiest place on earth."
I don't necessarily think it's Lake Powell itself that is so much fun, but rather the people we go with, the toys we play with, and the adventures we go on, plus it's always nice to spend a weekend like royalty.

The kids were so good about always keeping their life jackets on that it was never an issue. They all knew that before they stepped foot off the boat, their life jacket had to be on.

This was Jeremy's (cousin who owns all these awesome toys) favorite part, taking around the kids and dumping them off the banana. It was so funny!
Gentry going on a private tour of Lake Powell. He takes off and lands right there on top of his boat. It was an amazing ride with such awesome views.
Coming in for a landing!
Our two families have always been really close, so it is always so much fun to get together and laugh, visit and play lots of fun Corney games.
We ate very well. There was always food and munchies.
Adam BBQ-ing hamburgers and Hot dogs for the hungry crew.
It was quite an assembly line at each meal time.
Calli and cousins (Talen, Trasen, Jadyn and Brin) enjoying their snow cones.
We had a friendly game of 21. After we each had a chance to play we had a winners circle with the top 6 winners from each round, where they played for $700.00. My brother Terry was the
lucky one to walk away with his pockets a little fuller. We all decided it isn't really gambling when you're not playing with your own money, right? :)

Jeremy thought it would be fun to have a Jalapeno pepper eating contest. He was right! Although, I think those of us that watched had a little more fun then those that participated. Adam came out the winner of $100.00 after two rounds and eating 5 peppers.
Way to go Honey!
The kids loved having movies on all day so they could come in from swimming and playing and relax for a minute before heading out again.
We had a great time, but all good things must come to an end. Jeremy driving the boat back to the marina....
Thank you Jeremy and Sharla for another Fantastic weekend, you are both such amazing and gracious people. Thank you mom and Karen for doing all the shopping, thanks to all those that helped prepare meals, Thanks to the other Losee family for all the fun new games you taught me (especially, Poke and Snort, 1,2,3 Look, Zip/Bong, and Ticket to Ride, I'm still laughing) and a Huge thank you to the whole family for such a fabulous time!!!


What happened there? I am so jealous- I wanted to go so bad- but the kids had just started school and it's a 15 hour drive to Lake powell for us one way so we decided we better not- hopefully next year!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow...I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic when you mentioned the house boat with the helicopter on top. Looks like a lot of fun...next time you tell Ryan and I to pop in you better watch out. ;)
ReplyDeleteIm telling you for $100.00 I would have kicked Adams but at eating peppers! I'd do just about anything for money :) looks like you had a blast, I must say our Lake Powell trips on the family houseboat are a little different...the key word being 'little'
ReplyDeleteHe would have eaten a lot more (not for the money but just cuz' he's competative) but everyone else gave up on about their 2nd or third pepper...good times!
