Last week was packed with fun crazyness so I will break this into parts in hopes in remebering more details and getting caught up before the next fun event. We started our journey on tuesday night after matt got off work we headed off to Kanab where we had found a cheap hotel for the night so we could get some good sleep instead of sleeping in the parking lot...or so we hoped. We arrived at the hotel at about 1130 and quickly found out why it was so cheap. The reviews had been great and they were sold out but obviously people don't have standards as high as our are. Hallie slept terrible and eventually ended up in bed with Matt and I which has never happened so needless to say none of us slept good. But we made due slept a few hours and headed for the lake early the next morning. About five minutes before we arrived we started getting text messages that there had been a fire on the boat. No one had been hurt and the boat with its contents were still fully intact but it wasn't running so we headed to find a camp spot since the sky was full of threatening clouds. One thing my family is great at is pulling together to make sure everyone is taken care of and this situation was no exception. Everyone helped setup tents, care supplies, empty the boat, and stake things down. One thing we aren't afraid of is hard work, this is something I hope hallie will pick up on.
We got everything set up just in time for it to start raining while it rained the boys went to help some of our neighbors to get unstuck in the sand.
Lake powell has undescribable soft sand, its the best. And although the weather wasn't the greatest it didn't stop Hallie and Maddi from having a great time.
Hallie loved the sand and the water just as we suspected but she did have her share of spills in the sand.
My favorite part of the trip was watching how cute Hallie interacted with the family
