Lake Powell

I remember going to Lake Powell with my family when I was younger and thinking, "this is my favorite place in the world". I remember running down the sandy hills with my cousins and sleeping on the boat with Austin. Tubing for hours.. cruising around the lake as fast as we could. Ice cream cones on the dock.. Ah, I have always loved Lake Powell.

We went with the Tobler's in June and it was just as wonderful as I remember. Here is my happy list from our trip, and pictures, of course.

-getting to Kanab much faster than we thought!

Nearly a month later..

I can't believe a month has gone by since my last post.. We are so blessed. In June, we were on vacation for literally, half the month. The rest of the month was spent catching up and then July was here and now where is it?

Here's July:

-rafting in Riggins, Idaho (pictures to come)
-found out one of my photos is being published into a book (on my life list)
-oh so much editing
-barbeques
-fireworks
-disney movies
-seven peaks
-games
-birthday parties
-family dinners
-ShayLee coming home to visit

It's been a fantastic month. Did you know the 4th of July is my third favorite holiday? Someday, I am going to throw a beautiful backyard barbeque on the 4th and invite all of my family and friends. Someday.
