Here are more photos from our trip to the States in October. After visiting friends and family in Dallas and Phoenix, we headed north to Lake Powell to spend a few days on a houseboat with my family.
I love Lake Powell. It is so unique and beautiful, and I have many fond memories of the week long houseboat trips we took growing up. Our first trip was shortly after we moved to Arizona from Hawaii, when I was just seven. Ahhh, memories.
Jason and I would have loved to spend a whole week with everyone on the houseboats; however, our whirlwind trip only allowed us three full days there. That’s okay, we had a great time and enjoyed each day to its fullest.
Below is the first set of photos from our time at Lake Powell. I am working on a second set, which I’ll share next, that shows the gorgeous landscape of the lake.
Jason took this first photo of my sister, MiKela, playing horseshoes. I love that you can see the horseshoe flying through the air.
Here are two of the three houseboats our group had. Joe, my dad’s cousin, works at the lake and always organizes everything for us. The houseboat closest to the camera is his family’s boat.
This was Ezra’s first lake experience. My mom took him to the water’s edge and he had a great time splashing and digging his fingers into the sand.
Here is Ezra hanging out with grandpa! I am still trying to get used to calling my parents grandpa and grandma for Ezra. Grandpa Dan and Grandma Donna just seems weird to me still.
We spent one evening roasting marshmallows by the fire. Jason and I took this photo by placing the camera on a rock and opening the shutter for 30 seconds. I love how bright the moon looks and that you can see the stars. We can’t see the stars in Seoul and I definitely miss it.
On our second day there we went to Rainbow Bridge. I have more photos to share from there, but will save them for the next blog post. Jason took the following three photos. The third photo is of MiKela, me, and my cousin Kristen. I remember putting so much effort into my jump to really get some air, but alas I am a terrible jumper. :-/
The houseboats each have a water slide attached to the back. I went down it once and then grabbed my camera to take some photos of everyone else sliding. Jason is in the third photo below–he went head first!
Thanks for looking and check back soon for the second set of photos from Lake Powell!
