In which I try to catch-up from a busy summer - part III

This is the 3rd and final installment of the "great summer catch-up 2009".

At the end of August we enjoyed our annual trip to Lake Powell. Although we didn't to stay nearly long enough, we still had a B-L-A-S-T!

We arrived on Friday, late afternoon. After checking-in to our hotel (yes, we wimped out this year-no tent on the hot beach), we headed to the beach and Rowanna's family (Matt's sister). The rest of the evening was spent swimming, lounging, sandcastle building and having an amazing dinner. Being able have a shower after such a day was heavenly. Seriously! It changed my entire outlook on the Lake Powell experience!

On Saturday, after a yummy Denny's breakfast, we headed back to the beach. What a terrific day! Lots of swimming, a lazy boat ride where Mattie took a nap, and time to visit with family. My favorite part is getting in my floaty and going where the water takes me (within reason). It is LOVERLY! We headed home late in the afternoon on Saturday and stopped in Kanab for a yummy dinner at this great little restaurant (we will be going there again).

We pulled in late Saturday night, took showers, and fell into our beds. It was short but totally worth it! Thank you Keith and Rowanna for another great year at Lake Powell!

In which I try to catch-up from a busy summer - part II

For the weekend of the 24th of July (Pioneer Day) we decided to head to the mountains and go to Fish Lake with Matt's family. What a great time we had! I loved being able to kick back, hike around, find important nature treasures, go on adventures with Mattie and go to church in my shorts (seriously! anything goes!).

Matt's parents had their 5th wheel parked in a primo spot and we took full advantage. My favorite part? The delightful temperatures! We loved the cool night air especially. Thank you Mom and Dad Dotson for letting us crash your campsite!
