Day 1-Departure and Docking in Escalante

We arrived down in Lake Powell on Friday evening and stayed the night in Defiance Lodge at Bullfrog Marina. In the morning after we waited around for the boat to get fixed, we got loaded on. We immediatly headed South to find a spot up the Escalante River.

We immediatly got organized aboard the boat and busted out the water toys for the kids to keep them entertained on the ride

Everyone enjoying the ride down. Allie got introduced to her new best friend for the trip...her life jacket.

The dad's hopped onto the jet ski's and took off ahead of the boat to find a great spot for us to dock. I'd say they did a fabulous job! This was the first year we had a spot to run around on land....great work

Allie sure loved the fact that she could scale some walls while we were here. One of the days she was out playing with the little girls when they came running back to the boat telling us that Allie was stuck. We're not quite sure how she got up the 15 feet wall she was on, but she couldn't get back down. Daddy helped rescue her down

The family taking am evening jet ski ride

This is a view from the back of our canyon as the sun was setting. We were able to get a spot in a little canyon all to ourselves.
