Last weekend we decided to go to Lake Powell. It was a good way to end our summer I suppose...and its a good thing we went when we did....cuz now it is cold.... :( and last weekend was perfect....all except for a little storm.
Braulio and my dad went to go find a place to camp on the jet skis then came back to get me and Kirra. Braulio, Kirra, and I road on one jet ski while my dad drove the house boat to the spot they found. I was scared to death to take Kirra on the jet ski, I held onto her with my life. The life jacket consumed her....I think she could barely move...lol. But she didn't really try....she was so tired she the poor little thing fell asleep on the way there. I really don't know how she could have fallen asleep with that thing on though...she looked so uncomfortable!
The life jacket consuming my child.
Here are Kirra's first moments experiencing sand...
She was so cute playing in the sand for her first time....she didn't dare crawl in it, and of course she kept trying to eat it....so we let her eat just a little bit and of course was disgusted by it so she quit trying....lol
Cute pictures with Gramps
The water was so cold she didn't really like it. She would start crying every time I dangled her feet. So I sat with her on the sand and eventually put her in her floaty and she gradually got used to it...and started splashing and playing with her little water toys.
We had a lot of fun...I love Lake Powell....when I was a kid we would go every summer. There almost always is a random storm though. They are so sudden! Its so beautiful and sunny and then out of nowhere a black cloud comes out of the sky and it gets super windy. I think I have become excessively worried all the time because of my cute little dad who is so care free. Almost every time something crazy happens to us at Lake Powell.
When the storm hit luckily my dad had tied the jet skis to the house boat....and we were anchored, but not tightly cuz the house boat turned sideways and we were rocking a lot...lol. We had all our bedding up top I had to go up there and lay on everything and hold it so it wouldn't blow away, then we brougt it all down. I seriously hate the wind though....and I get so nervous being on the water during a storm. The weather said it was only supposed to last a couple hours but the wind kept coming and going....we didn't get much sleep anyway because Kirra wasn't sleeping good. Other than that we had a good time! :)
Here is a random picture of my dad....his shirt blue off the boat in the storm, he found it the next morning on the bottom of the lake...lol
I wish I would have taken some pictures but on saturday when we were getting ready to leave a HUGE houseboat parked by us. I don't think I've seen a bigger houseboat! It had 3 decks....the guy gave us a tour and told us it cost around a million!!! Can you believe that?! That is craziness! They had it custom built. I can't imagine how his real house looks like or how much that cost! Very much craziness!
