So, each year my entire family all tries to get together for one trip to Lake Powell. As kids we spent every other weekend there. It is always a lot of fun memories.
This year, however- the beach we came to camp at in Wahweep had E.coli in the water and so they recommended no swimming. Still people were swimming though b/c most likely they wouldnt be getting the water in their mouth. But with our little Seni Beni- it is a whole new story. I was immediately concerned b/c i know how she is at this current age and it would be near impossible to keep her out of the water. In addition, she has tubes in her ears and her plugs dont stay in...so that was an added concern. But we still made the best of it and actually spent a lot of time out on the boats and swimming in other areas of the lake.
Rod and Sheri's girls...Kayla, Brynna, Kiera, McKenna
Ashton water skiing for his 2nd time (once last year as well...click here to see)
Feeling like a big boy jumping off a cliff! (i know it is dangerous! But it was small and Troy was down below.)
Seneka obsessed with all the dogs on the trip... my mom has 5 yorkies and my brother has 2 dogs (this being one of them, Pepper). Unfortunately, they weren't too fond of her. She had great intentions...she only wanted to just kiss them, and kiss them some more, and then lay her head on them and pat them. Over and over. C'mon...what's the problem?
Rod and Marnie in high places...
Being that we were all chasing her the entire time so that she wouldnt get into the lake water, she succombed to sitting in the foot bucket instead (which we started filling with clean water). You see, Seni LOVES to put her face in any water she finds and drink it right up or blow bubbles...yeah, what a joy with our e.coli lake water- if you could only imagine?! Let's just say i got quite the workout this trip chasing her all around.
Rhett and Coen...how precious.
Sitting under our nice shade from our tent trailer's canopy. BTW- we really are enjoying our tent trailer...it is perfect for our needs right now...we love it.
This new sand hill in Wahweep that we found out about this year. The sand is heaven...so, so soft. It is quite the trek getting up to the top...but so worth it. The view was beautiful.
From the top...

Seriously, ditto on the hot mama. That is exactly what I was going to say. If only I could pull off that same look without looking like 'I've been in a hospital bed all summer'....ha ha ha. I hope you remember that comment....Your MOM is still a hot mama, too! Great genes.
oh and I can NOT believe you had to keep little Seneka out of the water the whole time! I can only imagine how fun THAT must have been...what a good mama. And seriously...Ashton out on the water and cliff jumping!! Your dad taught him, right? I first water skied and cliff jumped with your family, too!!
