I Like-a Lake Powell

So this is a highly belated and picture heavy post... Gotta love Lake Powell

Erika showing off her Crazy Lake Powell hair...


Yes, I teach my niece good things, like how to lay out! :) Don't worry, we had sun screen on her...


My little Macaroni & Cheese explorer... He was pretty happy to have his own bowl of Mac & Cheese and to sit at the big table


Landon LOVED playing in the sand.... right up until the edge sloughed off and he ended up in the water... then he was not so happy!


Our houseboat
Another view of "Livin' the Dream"

The family... my mom LOVES taking family pictures but we don't have at Lake Powell so we decided to fix that!


The view from our houseboat.... HEAVEN


You'd think we were sisters or something....


"SPF 5??? SPF 5???"


How cute is Berklie? Serious the girl is ADORABLE!!!! She LOVED the boat! Every time we were riding she'd say "more more more more more more more" the whole time! Seriously this girl is so adorable!

We may or may not have built a zip line... aka a "rear anchor" my 2 brothers and cousin are checking it out to see if Eli is gonna die on his way down... don't worry, a video of it will be coming! :)


Landon is too freaking smart... he sits there and watches you do something and figures it out, then walks over and does it. He figured out how to undo the latches on the gates! not good!


The boys tightening the rope for the zip line..

Paxman taking a nap on the "floaty".... Jealous!


Once again, Landon figuring something out.... The air conditioner fascinated him!


Cute Camila....


I am sure they are talking about something funny :)


Reagan had a blast playing in the water! She even went off the slide on the houseboat twice by herself!!!

Camila LOVED the sand! Absolutely LOVED it!


As did Doober boy! Mainly he liked hitting golf balls in the sand...


Ok I really wasn't kidding.... Berklie is so stinking cute!


My cute Doober boy... happy as can be on the boat... aka the "motorized tranquilizer"


My bro Eduardo and his daughter Camila. She loves Bop's boat too!!!

Some other fun adventures from Lake Powell included: Dad getting Swine Flu/Pneumonia :), the rest of us getting the stomach flu, getting caught with illegal fireworks (hilarious story), A few pretty good rain storms, NO INJURIES!!!! (A Gilbert family first!), watching the NBA Semi-finals every night while eating dinner, eating way too much food, sleeping too much, and lots of good play time!

It's always a party at Lake Powell!
