Lake Powell

I wanted to have one last vacation before Baby Girl arrives this week... so William and I tagged along and went to Lake Powell. This was William's FIRST Lake Powell trip. He did so well on the car ride (he is recently potty trained and did not have ONE single accident. I was very impressed). He was so excited to see the water and the boats and to stay on a house boat. He has never done any of this, so it was all very exciting.

When we finally made it to the houseboat we got all geared up and played in the water. He loved swimming in the lake with Kylee. He even went down the houseboat slide with her! (He wasn't such a big fan of this, only because he went under the water. I was so proud of him for going though!)


His favorite thing was riding the jet-ski. Meemaw and Pop pop took him on a very long ride and he was absolutely thrilled. Aunt Bri and Uncle Kaden took him next and he just did not want to get off that thing. He loves it. 

Lots of swimming with cousins and Aunts and Uncles... It was a very windy day!! 

The other love William had was the paddle boat. He had a blast just sitting in it and he got lots of rides from people. It is a great toy for the kiddos!

Bath time!! My cousin Courtney had the great idea to bathe the kids in the sink. These boys went first and had a blast. William is getting too big for this sort of thing tho- he barely fits in there! Ha ha. These boys are seriously hysterical together. (Lots of these pictures are courtesy of Courtney. She is so good at taking pictures!! Thanks Courtney)

Just chillin with cousins. We were only on the houseboat for a couple of nights. William and I were not feeling great (I was 36 almost 37 weeks pregnant and extremely swollen and just getting miserable) and I think William got homesick. Luckily we had cell phone service and called Daddy every night- but that wasn't good enough. The last night I held William while he cried and he cried his self to sleep. It was so sad. Then he woke up a couple of times during the night crying that he wanted to go home. So the next day we packed up and hitched a ride home with my brother Josh and his family. Of course, the minute we got home William was begging to go back to Lake Powell. But it was good that we went home. We got lots of sun and play in. He loved sleeping on top of the houseboat in a tent with Kylee too. I hope he had fun and will remember this trip!
