Beached........

We loaded up the cars to maximum capacity and headed to Lake Powell.  My mother, Jim and brother Erik were there a few days before us getting the houseboat and wave runners ready.  Let me introduce the Lake Powell Gang.

Doc

Mama Evonne, the peacemaker and chef.  She was constantly helping someone whether it was making food or watching children. She was there to help.

Grumpy

Jim the engine master and commander.  Took care of the wave runners and made sure the houseboat ran for us.  Got severely sunburned, but didn't complain despite this grumpy face.

Sneezy

Erik the captain.  He drove most the time, found our beautiful spot and was content reading and enjoying the moment when it came (when he wasn't running the ship).

Happy

Ashley was just happy to be there with out her lil crawler, Ellie. Her two older kids basically entertained themselves.

Dopey

I was Dopey after so many trips and time changes.  Watching Talmage near water could make anyone Dopey right?

Pyro Maniac

Garrett the Pyro, started many fires, but was also a good babysitter.  He was cool, calm and collected the whole trip. 

Bashfuls

These two were.... well... starting a relationship so....ya cute couple.  Mckenzie and Cache what a pair.

Lil Happy

Banxton loved every minute of this trip except the end when Talmage threw a rock that landed on his finger and smashed it.

Lil Grumpy

Gracie was actually very happy most the time. This was after jumping off the houseboat roof, her face slapped the water.

Lil Poopey

Talmage pooped more on this trip than his entire life so far.

Lil Sleepy

Sage was good but slept a lot. It was hot with all her fur.

Lil Pukey

Poor Coco ate too many rocks and sand the first day, which caused her to become sick and pukey the rest of the trip.

Just some fun memories from the first day......

Garrett basically starting a huge desert fire in the canyon.

Erik enjoying his shave after a long hard and dirty day.

Talmage pooping in his swim diaper and my mother bathing him.

Talmage exploring on the rocks for the first time in Powell.

Floating

What his bum looked like the majority of the trip.

Running up and down the plank.

My favorite...... our first night and the view.
