Lake Paddle II

I guess if you do something 2 years in a row it's a tradition right?    Well my kids think so and as soon as the smell of summer was in the air they all started talking about going to Lake Powell.  Aaron continues to call it Lake Paddle but this year my girls were obsessed to correct the word but Powell never would stick with him.


The kids had such a good time on Raquel's friends kid kayaks last year that we bought a couple of them and hauled them down there.  As much as they loved boat time with Jill, Raquel and Sarah on the boats they were also very content paddling around the shore and digging in the dirt and getting extremely dirty!  At the end of each day we all fell into bed totally exhausted.  The weather was cooler than last year and very windy.  Luckily we were on the shore when a wind storm came through but unluckily after tents, easy ups and the giant inflatable giraffe blew away we had no other choice but to endure the storm without shelter.    But like a bumper sticker once said "A bad day at the lake is better than a good day at work."     The next day was mostly beautiful and we had a blast playing on the lake spending quality time together.
