We have been planning this family vacation since last year. All the kids juggled their crazy schedules so we could spend a week together on a houseboat on Lake Powell. We had so much fun and made memories to last a lifetime!
We rented a 70′ houseboat with all the extras. Our week was action-packed and relaxing at the same time. The perfect combination!
We anchored in a pretty little cove with our own little lagoon.
Sean brought a ski boat which was used for wake-boarding and raft-pulling.
Lance rented a wave-runner that the kids all loved zipping around on.
We also rented a double kayak for more leisure exploring.

Even Lucy enjoyed playing in the water.

And there he goes!

Looks like sooooo much fun. I love Lake Powell. Glad you had a very fun and memorable vacation with the whole gang 🙂
Thanks, Ingrid. It was an amazing trip!
What fun!! How neat to have all the extra toys. Those action shots on the tube were wonderful…love the facial expressions:) Very nice boat!
The rafting was very popular with all the kids. Doing ‘the whip’ and hitting their own wake were the best! We’ve got a bunch of thrill seekers in our family.
We will be headed to Arizona in November. Will you be in Durango by then? Keep in touch. This looked like a most special vacation!
A grand way to celebrate summer with family. All looks so happy and having a great time.
