Lake Powell

After Northern California, we were off to Lake Powell for our annual week on the lake with the Bruschke's. My kids were so excited about this part of the summer - especially since we missed last summer due to our move. We made a few stops on our way there. We spent a night in Las Vegas. Haven't been there in a while so thought it would be fun to take the kids downtown and show them some of the strip. Not sure that was such a good idea - talk about sin city. There is no where to look - between all the billboards, advertisements, flyers, and frankly -people. Not a good place for kids - or adults really. We did enjoy the water show at the Bellagio - always a favorite.

We also stopped in St. George for church on Sunday. We were able to squeeze in a quick visit to another beautiful temple.
We also visited my grandmother and her husband, Joseph, who live in St. George.
We had another fabulous week on the lake. The kids couldn't get enough tubing, skiing, boating, and swimming. (Bryant is really enjoying the ride - it's hard to tell if he is smiling or crying).





As always, a very relaxing week. We enjoyed spending time with Craig's parents and some of our Bruschke cousins.

Even though we've been to Lake Powell almost every summer since we have been married (and once while in high school), I was stilled awed by the beauty of this incredible place. I feel blessed to be able to spend summers enjoying the majestic surroundings and watching the kids enjoy the water recreation - finishing a few books is always a bonus.
