Gardner Family Lake Powell


We had a fun time at Lake Powell this year. Of course it would have been way more fun if Daddy was there with us! He couldn't come due to taking the young men to Lake Powell a few weeks later. Lets just say taking two little kids by yourself is definitely not what I would call a nice relaxing vacation but for the kids it was!
There was a lot of playing in the sand all week. 
Greyson and Kai became fast buddies!



I thought McKean would be big enough to wear the bigger jacket without the back neck thing but boy was I wrong when he first got in the water with it, it pushed him straight face down and he wasn't strong enough to flip himself over. It scared him to death and he was scared to get in the water after that. I was freaking out because I didn't bring his other life jacket but thankfully Jenn had one. 


This was the trip of moving. We moved 3 different times and each time it took forever even though we just moved right next to each other! 

Watching Uncle Jim and Bryan fillet the fish they caught!

Feeding the fishes!

McKean tries the water ski for the first time. 

He was not too thrilled with it! 


Eating some snacks with Greyson and Ammon. Poor Kai was the only girl on this trip!
McKean and Daxton playing with all the toys!
Kailie, Ammon, Brendyn, Bryan and Andrea's nephew, Kaden and McKean!

Waiting for some fish to come nibble their toes!

Caught one!

Kailies turn to try and catch one!


Kenny was good and playing with the kids! Look at that white hair!

Jenn and I model on the sand dog someone had made!
It was fun to be there with Jenn. We were both the single moms down there and it was stressful. 

Carly, Devin and Daxton Rose. This family just really touched my heart. The things the have to deal with and struggle with with Dax just really makes you appreciative of the things you do have. 
They are amazing people!
Kean exploring all the tubes!


Help Uncle Jim my pants fell down!! 
So funny!
Chasing Aunt Debbie!

Hi cutie!

Getting ready to go for a boat ride!


The awesome sunset that had a crazy storm that threatened to come to us but never did! 

There is no place like Lake Powell!

First time out with his face against the wall. He actually stayed there really well.

Life would be so boring without these two squirts to keep me busy! 


The awesome doggy!

Taking our nightly baths. How many years have we been doing this? 

Now we are passing on the tradition to our kids!
Feeding more fish!

Playing with Cars!

Papa the entertainer!

Look Mom Duckies!



How much food can the ducks eat?



Kai tries the big skis for the first time!

The skis are still a little too big for her but she was a trooper!


Hit it!

Good job little Kai Kai!


McKean tries it again by himself this time!

Way to go little duders!

Kai's turn again!

It is just too easy now!



More Sand Fun!

She caught one!
And then was scared to touch it! 

Oh cute little catfish!
