Annual Lake Powell Trip 2009

I'm finally back in action after getting home and having no internet for 3 days because someone cut the cord in the box outside of our apartment :) Nonetheless, summer vacation has treated us (Grey and I at least) very well! Lake Powell with the Bollards and Swartwoods was a success as always (we REALLY missed Jeff)!  
I was super stressed at the beginning with Grey being SO busy and having no hesitations when it comes to the water - drowning nightmares! But, he did great, slept well and kept himself entertained by being dirty, playing with Max and Teddy, swimming and dancing. He eats up any attention he can get! 


The first chance he had to get in the water after we anchored the houseboat.

This shot was taken just seconds before Bill yelled "hit it," the boat started going, he face planted and was dragged through the rocks, shrubs and into the water. Needless to say, they hadn't worked out all of the kinks yet. They finally did and we got most of the boys in the air for a good ride. After our Lake Powell visit we found out that parasailing was outlawed 2 years ago due to several fatalities because people didn't know what they were doing. Ummm...oops!

Grey is such a cutie! Maddux misses his bud! When do you guys come back?

I'm also curious how the houseboat was with a little one? We are making the trip in August and I'm nervous! Any helpful hints would be awesome!
