Lake Powell

Lake Powell is a magical place.  Robert and I met there.  It is beautiful.  We have wanted to take our kids there for a long time, so when we got an invite from Doug GD we jumped at the opportunity.  Doug just finished his houseboat at Antelope Point (which is by Wahweap).  We didn't have long to visit, so we made the most of it.  We left St. George early (5 am'ish) and drove the 2.5 hours to the dock.  We went with Mark (Rob's brother), Nicole, and their 3 kids (Courtney, Megan, and Lexie).  We met Doug and his family there.  The houseboat was amazing, and the speed boat was a lot of fun.  Here we setting off:
 

Max did the EZ ski.  It was really cute, and he was very proud of his skiing.

Rob had not been skiing for a number of years, and was so glad to be behind the boat skiing.  I will need to post a video of him skiing.  Robert, Mark, and Matt (Doug's son) all skiied.  Rob had a few hard falls, and Max and Kate liked it best when he crashed!

Second level of the houseboat.  We ate lunch up here.

Max went off the slide from this level.  Unfortunately, he had the air knocked out of him a couple of times.

We felt lucky enough to spend a few hours at Lake Powell.  I asked my doctor if I could wakeboard, and she thought it was pretty funny I even asked.  Needless to say, I was not cleared for any water sports.
