Lake Powell

We have begun to realize that in a few short months our ability to just pack up and take off on a vacation will dramatically change. However, that has not stopped us from enjoying what time we have left. So last weekend the Nelsons packed up and headed to Lake Powell by way of St George and Las Vegas! Taylor is a big fan of the musical Aida, which was playing at Tuachan, so we made our first stop in St George where we met up with the Moss and Lund families. The play was done very well and the weather was perfect for the event. Then we headed off to Las Vegas to visit the Jensens. They were great hosts and showed us a grand time bowling and eating some of the best Mexican food ever. While in Vegas we made a quick stop at my favorite clothing store H&M. None of my clothes fit right now and I wasn't planning on buying anything but I still had to make the stop. To my shock H&M carries maternity clothes! I was in heaven to say the least and had to pick up a few tops. We also picked out Baby Nelson's first H&M outfit- which made me feel like such a good mother. Next we were off to Lake Powell thanks to a gracious invitation from the Rasmussens to stay with them for a few days on their houseboat. Food, sun, play dough pictionary, beautiful surroundings and great company- we had a delightful time! I finally remembered my camera at this point so enjoy a few pictures.

We took an early morning ride through very calm waters to tour some of the lake's treasures like Rainbow bridge, Temple Music, Hole in the Rock, etc.

Rainbow bridge. It is amazing what water flow and time can create. The pictures don't do it justice.

Not looking our best. Fortunately the bridge was on:-)

I didn't spend a lot of time in the water after this little friend surfaced to say Hi. What else is down there I wondered.

More beautiful scenery. We saw a lot in our nine hour tour that day- it was wonderful!

Deuce took a refreshing dip from a cliff during our lunch stop. Crazy!

I have to say I'm happy to be home but glad that we are able to do so many fun activities. We know it's not the end of the world to have a child but for know we'll keep living each day like it's our last. What's next?!
