L.P. Awesomeness

Lake Powell was such a blast! If you have never been, you have to go! I think this is the first time that all of my siblings has gone on a vacation with any of our parents in well.. since they got divorced. My mom was so happy for all of us to be there and she and her husband Randy played awesome hosts. We had so much fun riding the water weenie.. thank goodness for the awesome helmets mom bought or we might have been concussed.. dangerous playtime but it was dang funny. We got to ride their 2 wave runners, boat and just relaxed on floatie chairs in the water. We had one crazy day that I named Bird Tuesday. It was around 9 am and everyone kept talking about this hawk, by the time I realized what they were talking about that it wasn’t in the sky, there was a boat that was stopped by this floating thing in the water. Apparently this Hawk nosedived into the water and couldn’t get out. The other boaters got the bird on land over by our house boat. about 45 minutes it had gotten enough energy back and dry enough it took off on top of a cliff that over looked us. Later that day Me, mom and Todd were floating across from our house boat into a cove like thing, and I saw something else floating in the water. ( the wind had been pretty bad and we had seen a lot of candy wrappers and water bottles fly off the boat that day) so we start swimming towards the object, mom got there first and identified that it was a baby bird. she scooped it onto her lap and paddled back to the house boat. She said that it was barely staying afloat when she got to it, but after letting it too dry off and re-gain some energy it flew away. Crazy birds, you can't swim! Well except birds like ducks, which we saw a ton of too! We played a little experiment. We put some bread in the water by the house boat with loud music on. The ducks didn't want anything to do with the food. Well they wanted it but stayed about 25-50 feet away from the house boat. We turn off the music and they came right up to the boat to get the food. It was pretty funny.
A week with no TV and only family and water sports to entertain you.. minus sunburns It was spectacular! (speaking of sun burns.. I have a white hand on my thigh. no idea why I have a handprint.. whether it be sunscreen or just sitting in one position for a long time.. but it’s pretty hilarious!)
Thanks Mom and Randy! We all had a blast! Pictures to come soon, I forgot my camera so mom took pics for us!
