There is nothing greater than a trip to Lake Powell!! It is everyone's favorite vacation! It is the best because there is something for everyone to do. The past few years we haven't been able to go as often as we'd like so we were very excited to be able to make the trip this year! The whole Halls' side was able to attend for the entire week except for Steve who couldn't attend because of work related things.
It was so great spending a week with the entire family! The kids played from sun up to sun down (and long after that) and it was great spending time with all the adults. My family is the greatest! We have so much fun together.
Now...I had to add a lot of pictures because, you see, I have a hard time leaving any pictures out. I don't want any of them to feel bad so I include them all. Lucky for you, my camera broke during this trip so there aren't as many as I'd like.
fUn! FuN! fUn!
Day we arrived at the lake....we were headed down the lake to our camping spot.
Havyn's first time on the slide.
Me getting tricky
This water mat, a new addition this year, provided hours of endless fun! It can hold up to 1800 pounds.
Taylor against the boys!

That would be me....I don't really enjoy slaloming but I do it anyway
Wakeboarding
The small children always wanted to come along while we did watersports...they usually fell asleep.
Getting ready to surf
Dang surfing! I can catch the real waves in Hawaii but can't get the hang of these boat waves. You are supposed to be able to let go of the rope and ride the wave. Bah humbug!
The Hole in the Rock

Every year there are pranks to be played..it is always between the boys and the girls. This year the boys got the girls. They drew on their faces while they were sleeping. Surprisingly none of them woke up. I was dying laughing during the whole thing. Love it!
Madison snoozing...some of them only have half of the face colored because they were sleeping on their sides.

Payton and I have a rivalry going on its about who has the biggest muscles. He did beat me arm wrestling (barely) but I'm going to train and whip him next time!

Love the pictures! I'll be sending all my friends and family your way to see cute Lake Powell pictures since I stink at blogging and who knows how long it will take me to get my own up. We had soooo much fun with you guys. Let's do it again next year, huh?:)
Pretty much the greatest place on earth. Love it. I have a really great prank planned for next year, for the girls to get back the boys. We talked about it, so you might remember. I'm about to fall off my chair right now just thinking of how funny it's going to be. Ok, good pictures, good times. Love it all. Love you.
