Lake Powell!


He wants to drive everything he sees.


Hiking around with Dad, while Mom reads.


The one redeeming thing during the weekend!!
Doesn't that look delish, and healthy, right??



Does it look like boating weather?? Nope.

We went to Lake Powell over Memorial Day. Jack's first time. Basically, my first time since the last time we went was three years ago and I was pregnant. No fun at all. This time was pretty fun, but there were a few downers to the weekend.

1-- RAIN! I didn't know that Lake Powell ever got rain. They probably don't but of course they get a monsoon on the one weekend we are there. We were driving down, almost there, and were stopped by water just gushing into the roads. It was the craziest thing. It rained most of the day on Saturday, but by Sunday we were sitting pretty.

2-- HOTEL! What a RIP! We won't stay there again. Because they are in such a remote location, they charge you for the rooms up front. It was basically an arm and a leg... but, we paid for the stay and went to dinner and got talking with Jason's parents. Because of the weather, we lost a good portion of our group and there was now room in their room. So, we thought... Hey, save the money, split the room, we should check out. We tried and failed. They said that we could check out but that they are keeping our money. So, we stayed in the room because all of my fighting with them wouldn't change their minds. I think it is basically stealing money from the consumer! They should have a flat fee for cancellations but they shouldn't charge you the full thing! It was a joke. So, take a lesson and never stay at the hotel in Bullfrog.

Overall, the weekend was fun. Jack had an absolute ball and loved everything from the hotel to the boat. He looooved the boat and has been asking to go on it the whole time we have been home. It was nice to get away and relax a little. I read some good books (about Henry 8th, who was a PIG) and it was nice to see Jason for more then 3 hours during the day. Thanks to Brad and Cindy for the trip and we can't wait to do it again. But, we will stay somewhere else.
