Summer Fun!

This past week we were able to spend six days in beautiful Lake Powell. Every year Chance's family goes with their family friends the Bennetts. All of Chance's family were able to join us, and the Bennett's three daughters with their husbands and they each have two children, so it made for quite a crowd. It was hot, but the water was always there to cool us down. I was also able to have my birthday on the beach! We had so much fun wakeboarding, tubing, making sand castles, chilling, playing games, and being together as a family. I now have a nice tan, Chance says I look like a savage, but most importantly I have a lot of fun new memories to remember forever. Here are some pics for everyone's enjoyment.



Chance with our neice Sayla..she was so happy all of the time and esspecially loved Ottor Pops to cool her down. She is only six and a half months but she is a chunky monkey. :)

Awww...how tender

The boys' favorite game to play at Powell, horseshoes.

So Saturday night made for an interesting night. We played a game where you were blindfolded, had the Ipod so loud so you couldn't hear yourself sing let alone everyone laughing at you, and you had to show a great performance. We were all laughing so hard at times it is amazing I didn't pee my pants. Since I have shared Chance's embarassing moments with the world, he is making me put the video of me on the blog.

Sunday, my birthday, we had the opportunity to go to church in little podunck town. there were maybe five families that lived in the branch and the rest of the crowd were visitors. The boys just wore a white shirt and shorts. It was an interesting and fun experience.

All the family at church

They all threw a birthday party for me. It was so nice of them!

Chance surprised me with a pearl necklace and braclet, I had no idea...

Surprise number two occured when they all decided to spray me with silly string.

We went on a boat ride the same day, it was so beautful.

Chance is acting like he's so cool while jumping off the rock.So Monday, our last full day at Powell I finally got up on the wakeboard! I was so proud of myself!
