Lake Powell-House Boat Style

Getting ready to leave Antelope Marina

Dad bringing a wave runner out


The greeting squad-they were hungry and ready for us to get there. Thanks for saving the spot guys.

Dad and Kinnon were wiped out from loading the trucks, loading the boat, and finding our spot!

Too tired to smile.

Brock, Rhet, and Jordan fishing off the top of the house boat. Rhet was our designated fisherman.

Emma loved the sand until she discovered the slide.

Jordan and Perry taking out the wave runners

Kaela in the hot tub. The hot tub was quite a hit with the little kids. So much so that the rest of us didn't want to get near it.

Emma and the other girls loved the slide. They played on it for hours.



Matt liked jumping off the houseboat.

Cambria, Anna, Jessa, and McCall

Ever catching Catfish

When the Mayers came out for the day, we couldn't get enough of baby Phillip. Lucky Julie got some good snuggling time.

The wind and rain brought all the girls in off the top of the houseboat. We were wall to wall bodies.

Perry was so tired he didn't seem to care where he slept. Matt didn't seem to care either.

The older boys were all about their bachelor pad upstairs.

Blokus was a favorite game.

Kaela's hair got a little wind blown!

Emma loved to ride on Sandlin's boat. It had this magical affect on her.

Jessa, Anna, and Cambria going out for their first run on Mable

Kaela and Ellie getting in on the Blokus fun

Emma's imagination corner. We just couldn't keep those oreos away from her. Who taught her to twist, turn, and lick the middles out anyway?
Kaela, Bridger, Perry, and Matt looking for lizards
Alex "the Claw" Killpack. Emma couldn't get enough!
Cambria, Anna, and Jessa enjoying the ride to Rainbow Bridge

That's quite the beard there T-bone. We'll just call you Salt N Pepper.

All the gang at Rainbow Bridge

Emma was tired from the walk.

The boys getting some rays on the way home from Rainbow Bridge

Kinnon was a great captain!

We stopped for some cliff diving on the way back to the houseboat. Here's Kaela ready to make a splash.

Jordan helping Emma learn how to cliff jump. She was not afraid.

Jordan made it look so easy!

It's a miracle, Matt actually smiled for a picture. He's pretty much at that "Mom, don't take my picture stage"

It was actually a double rainbow and it was so pretty!

Kaela and Bridger on the tube. Her knees and face got pretty beaten up after 3 hours.

Back at Antelope Marina. Bye Bye Houseboat!

Troy being his usual crazy self

Loading the trucks for home

Kenzie was so cute with the kids. She helped entertain them while we got everything off the boat.

Saying good bye to a super fun week. Matt was a little less than happy. We had just put lotion on his wind dried face and it stung pretty bad. Benson, Rhet and Jordan were so cooperative with my never ending photos. Thanks guys! Your Mom's will be so grateful.
