Lake Powell - 2008

Our trip to Lake Powell this year was for 11 days. It was a long trip, but certainly did not feel like it. It was a great way to unwind. Emily elected not to wakeboard, kneeboard, etc, but did spend a ton of time in the water. Jake worked on his wakeboard skills, he is really improving. We read, ate, slept, wakeboarded, explored by water and land and then we ate and slept some more. The stars were great - the moon was waning then waxing while we were there, so plenty of stars to see.

This rock face was 20-25 ft. Someone had left a rope tied to a big bush, so we decided to give it a try. Going up was definitely easier than coming down!

You are my God

This is a cool video about Eucharistic adoration. We have seen Fr. Stan at many youth rallys. Tony Melendez sings the song. I have been able to play as part of his band when he has played in Colorado.
