I Heart Lake Powell

One of my all time favorite places to vacation is Lake Powell. I look forward to going there almost every summer. Aside from relaxing, being in the water, getting tan, and being with my family, I decided I like it so much because it is one of the few times I don’t worry about wearing makeup or doing my hair…well maybe I worry about it a little bit, but not TOO much! One of my favorite activities this year was wake surfing, my Uncle David just bought a board for surfing behind the boat and we all loved it! I also enjoyed wakeboarding, jet skiing, tanning on top of the houseboat, eating, and being with my family (including sharing a bed with my grandma).

While at the lake we have also started a tradition of racing up a giant sand hill. This year 19 of us loaded up on the boat and jet skis and went over to the sand hill. It looks really steep, but you don’t even realize how steep it is until you’re running up it. I was the defending champion for the girls from last year and so I was a little nervous because me and my sister Britany tend to become a little competitive. Thanks to my membership at Gold’s Gym I was able to come in first place again for the girls and 6th or 7th overall. Then on the last night all of the cousins (minus Amanda) went out for a late night swimming and slide party. We had a swimming race to the rock which was cool because it was really dark. It was such a fun time to bond with all of my cousins and my brothers and sisters…except for Emily because she was in Florida, we missed you Em! It’s always sad when a trip comes to an end but now I have the Eastern Idaho State Fair to look forward to!
