Lake Powell 2014

Rhodes Family Reunion

      We love our Lake Powell Trips! This was my second time going to Lake Powell. Rocky (Shaun's Dad) is now calling this the Rhodes Family Reunion. We drove down to St. George Wednesday night right after school on Wednesday. We stayed at Rocky and Rachelles place. Shaun and I along with his brother Brandon and wife Katherine all rode down together. We fell asleep watching the show "Lie to Me." 

         The next morning we woke up early and started driving to Lake Powell! We arrived there and met Rocky and Rachelle along with Justin and Brianna and their two little daughters. We then unloaded and headed on our way to our beach spot. It was a nice boat ride! Once we got there we set up camp and then made some lunch. Then we went out for a ride. The boys played around on the tube and did some fun slow-mo videos. 

          After that we then headed back to camp and played around for a while on the Canoe that Justin brought. We managed to fit all 6 of us on the Canoe. We had fun tipping it several times. We even caught the video on Slow-Mo, which was pretty neat. 

The next morning Shaun and I went with Rocky and Rachelle and made a morning Ski and Wake-boarding run! I need to work on getting over the Wake! Shaun got hurt in the process, so we didn't go out after that. 

      As a family we decided to go for a ride up some slot canyons. It was quite the adventure. Brandon really enjoyed being up front guiding us away from the walls with the ore and Shaun and Rachelle in the back. It was all fun and games until a big storm was coming. Then we had to get out of the slot canyon as fast as we could. We managed to make it safe and sound back to our camps. Both Justin and Brandons tent had broken poles. Shaun and my tent managed to stay strong, (it is quite the tiny tent) So we spent sometime trying to take down some tents and cleaning up camp. We also had to go chasing after Justin's Canoe as it had blown quite a ways away from camp.

      

     The last day after we packed everything up and got Brianna and Justin's Family off the boat, we went back into the water for a Lake Powell "Bath."  I have to say at first I was really confused as to what that was, but later found out. We got back on the boat and found a spot. Then we all jumped into the water and washed our hair with Shampoo and conditioner. Then we were able to change in the boat into our normal clothes that we would ride home in. At first I was a little skeptical, however it was actually pretty nice and my hair was no longer in big tangles. We had some fun on the tube tackling each other. 

Sure love this guy! 

What a wonderful Vacation! I look forward to next year!
