Lake Powell

So my pictures uploaded from the end of the trip to the beginning and I don't want to reload them. This trip we went down with Bret's team from work and took the National Guard pontoon boat.
I have to tell you about Brooklyn's lucky hat. She was wearing the hat the first day we went out on the boat and about 15 minutes in it blew off her head. She asked her dad to go back but he wouldn't because it probably had already sank. So after 10 minutes of crying we calmed her down by telling her we would find it on the way back and if we couldn't find it we would go get a new hat. So the next day we had decided to go to a beach just across from the docks and have a barbecue. We had been there for a good 4 hours and Bret went to pick up some garabage from the lake and picked up the hat. Brooklyn was so excited! We were a good 6-7 miles away from were we lost it the day before. So that is her lucky hat.




These pictures are at the beach from the second day out. Brooklyn liked to build castles in the sand. Marissa liked playing in the water. They had fun on one of the tubes that you pull behind a boat.




This is the first day we went out to the lake. We started on the lake at about 8:30 in the morning and got back about 5:30. It was a very long day as you can see the girls both took naps on the way to rainbow bridge. It was a lot of fun. The girls were very good on the boat, I was worried they would get bored and want to get off. Once we got to rainbow bridge you have to walk a little ways to get to it but we just made it to where you could see it and called it good since the girls were so tired.
This was on the bridge that goes across the dam. The girls thought it was so cool.
