Lake Powell (picture overload)

Last year Josh and I weren't able to go to Lake Powell because I was pregnant and on bed rest. We were so excited to go this year and to experience it with Jackson.

Josh's parents rented a house in Page with his aunt and uncle. There were 14 adults and 5 kids in one house, and it was a lot of fun. We loved being able to come back from a day on the lake and take showers, make our own cooked meals, and hang out as a big family.

The lake was perfect. The babes would play in the sand and water for hours and then we'd take them on a boat ride and they'd fall fast asleep, perfect!

J loved looking out on the boat

"what?"

Jackson turned 1 while we were down there so I made cupcakes and Josh got him some presents to open. He spent his Birthday exactly how I'd imagine he'd want to. Eating cake, playing in water and dirt all day, and being with his cousins.

Everyday was spent out on the lake. It was a great way to relax and enjoy the summer heat.

The last day was a Sunday so we headed to church in Page. Then headed home=(

We loved the lake and can't wait for next year=)
