Lake Powell

We were invited to Lake Powell by Derek, John's brother and Traci, Derek's wife. We left on Wednesday, October 1, and drove down to our St. George house. We were going to pick up John, who flew from Amsterdam, at the St. George airport. But instead John got to the house before we did so we met him there. We got up early on Thursday and drove two hours to Lake Powell. We had a great time relaxing, boating, eating, talking, watching movies and more boating. On Friday we went to Navajo Canyon and everyone except me, Phoebe and Booba hiked up a slot canyon. They swam through cascading pools to get to an old Indian dwelling. They had a fun adventure and I was really proud of Meg and Ellie making it through because it can be really tough in certain spots. On Saturday it rained most of the day so we didn't get to boat at all but we had a good time inside just chatting and getting to know each other better. We had a wonderful time and we are so grateful to have spent time with Derek, Traci, Ethen and Tyler. (Emily and Josh are on missions and Alta couldn't miss school.)
