Lake Powell

We drove down to Lake Powell with Kayla and Steven. They were very kind to let us catch a ride. Steve's parents let us stay the night at their home in Antimony, UT. We loved our night on the farm. Chase was enthralled with all of the animals especially the goat named Crash. They had fainting goats whose muscles freeze when they panic. Steve scared them, they froze, and then fell right over. It was hilarious! They also had a horse, cow, lots of chickens, roosters and peacocks. I'm probably missing something else. We had steak for dinner, and eggs fresh from the coop for breakfast. What fun!
 Lake Powell is undeniably my favorite place on earth. I was able to go with my family one last time before they sold the boat. I like this quotation from Dr. Seuss: "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." I was smiling the whole time I was there.
 Chase loved it too. This was his first time in the water off of the boat. My mom was finally able to coax him in. Here he is with grandpa, dubbed Skipper (by Steve).
 Look at that five star sand castle. I should mention we didn't build that.
 Could someone please pass the popcorn to Royce? This was actually a very bumpy ride, but so much fun.
 Look at how adorable Christian is! I must say he was the main attraction. I don't think he was ever set down. He looks a little grumpy in this picture. I don't think he loved the life jacket.
 Here I am wake boarding.
 This is how I got up.
We met Dayne at This is the Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake City. Dayne worked at the saddlery this summer. Chase helped him stamp leather to make a bracelet.
