Day 1- Departure

Another 2 years has arrived again....time for the biennial Lake Powell Trip.  We headed down on a Friday after Sophie got her 6 month shots; which ended up being a smart move.  We made the drive in 10 1/2 hours and Sophie took 2 GREAT naps for us on the way.  Saturday morning we got up early to load the boat.


Bullfrog....the start of our vacation

Sophie enjoying the ride.  We made our 4 hour boat trek up to the Escalante, the same spot we had been 2 years previously.  I was so excited no one was there because there is a great beach for the kids to play on and a fire pit for s'mores

The first night Monica helped the kids whip up some homemade Root-bear


Taking off to explore


Our little family headed out on the jet ski to explore Davis Gulch.  It's an adventure every time we come because the water level is so different we never know how far we are going to be able to drive into each canyon.

Awesome hole in the rock that we always look forward to checking out in Davis.  Great start to such a fun vacation
