Lake Powell

The Stewart's Annual Trip to Lake Powell!

We all had a great time at one of the greatest places on earth! Warmest water, best glass to ski on, fishing, games, food (notice no adjective to describe--my parents tried to pass a bean and rice thing off as a hamburger is all I can say--trying to force their "diet" on us--yikes), hiking, lots of swimming, and FUN!! Unfortunately not everyone could be there (Laura started her RN job in SF!!) so here's some pictures to fill you in sis!

Sophia loves tubing--Justin and his friend Jill went with Sophia on a 14 mile tube ride if that tells you anything! It was in the channel where there are mile markers; that's how I know the distance!

Daddy and his girls rafting

Fishing! Ethan, Sophia, and Dad all caught a TON of fish--catfish, bluegill, carp

Waterskiing! Sophia waterskiied on the boom to the side of the boat! I think she mainly just liked the outfit, but she did a great job too!We did have some rain, but don't worry--the boys had 8 anchor lines out! Can you tell we have been here a lot and know about the storms that can blow in?!

Skiing on glass!! (early in the a.m. of course thanks to my brothers!)

Justin's run--still got it after the mission--Eric and I aren't sure how he managed to miss only one year of The Lake but served a 2 year mission?! (an early June trip before he left in 2008, missed 2009, back for 2010--well planned Jay)

Eric's definitly still got it--he and Justin are also getting pretty awesome at the sky ski (air chair) but I didn't ever have my camera on the boat.

Dad getting ready--he's still great too!!

We call this "Praying for the glass" Really, Eric already had his ski on before the boat gremlin shorted out the starter switch. Once dad got it going again, we had to go searching for some glass.

Sunrise or Sunset? Only the breakfast club gets this view! Fun trip! Thanks Mom and Dad!
