Lake Powell

Last week we were lucky enough to go to Lake Powell with the entire Webb family.  This is the first time his entire family has ever gone on a trip together since we have all gotten married.  It was so much fun to be together with his parents, all of his siblings, and our nieces and nephews.

We stayed in a hotel in Page, Arizona which was nice to be able to head back from the lake for a hot tub, nice shower, and a warm bed.  Asher loved staying in the hotel.  He especially loved to roam the halls all evening and would have just run back and forth all night if I had let him.  He would stand by the door in our room and say "go go go go go go".  He loved the elevator and learned how to push the buttons.  And he loved that there was a constant flow of new people to say hi to and get attention from.  He made lots and lots of friends over our continental breakfasts and elevator rides.

We had cooler weather, but I guess that is to be expected this time of year.  One day it rained and rained on us, but it was still an adventure (getting soaked and boating back through a crazy hail storm). Asher was happy and hardly even seemed to notice that it was cool.

Everyone was able to kind of do their own thing and have lots of fun.  Asher was seriously a happy camper and loved to play in the sand, in the water or with the ski rope.  He also liked his little tube ride and loved swimming even though I worried he might freeze.

Matt and Marilee's kids were all so good, each of them just played in the sand and water all day long.  Marie and Natalie spent an entire day constructing the most giant and intricate sand castle I have ever seen.  Laura and Phil looked like Ken and Barbie riding the wave runners to the beach.  Matt and the kids buried Scott with so much sand we all thought he was going to stop breathing.  Marcus and the other guys played frisbee on the wave runners.  Scott and Julie hung out in the cubby to stay warm, but were always so sweet to welcome Asher in with them.

In fact, everyone was so sweet and good to Asher and he was constantly held and always taken care of.     There was also plenty of cheetos, cookies and chocolate slipped to him as well.  Spoiled little babe.  I am so happy he has such loving aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins that he is so close to.

And I have no pictures of Laura and Phil!  I don't know how that happened.  Dang it!

Thanks Dave and Marie for such a fun vacation!
