Lake Powell with the Ladies

If you don't like Lake Powell, there is just quite simply something wrong with you--seriously wrong! As 'ol boy Zog says, "it's one of the most beautiful places in the world." It's hard to argue with that old pirate, but how could anyone not like Powell??? Okay, I will admit the heat is turned up pretty high, but once you sort of give in to that, and let it wrap its sweltering arms around you, its...I don't know sort of healing???

I was the solo man with 5 women, the wife, the three daughters, and Hannah's friend Carley. They were the best, and aside from a little bickering with the little women, we all got along smashingly. My girls, especially Jac the little one could be dragged along on a tub all day long.

Fishing did not happen, but make no mistake about it, I saw a lot of carp and stripper--many feeding off the top. You just have to see a big fish come take something off the top of the water and your blood gets cooking.

With any luck this will be the beginning of a yearly tradition, and just maybe we will be joined by friends...

Okay, I would be wondering what in the hell is going on with this shot too... brief explanation, it comes from my daughters friend from cheer leading, she would do these huge jumps into the air, and her name is Leah Bill. So we have a tradition of doing this where the shutter is set to take about ten pics of everyone jumping into the air. Here's the funny part look at me, I look like I either pulled something very painful, or perhaps I pooped in the shorts... you decide. One last thing, I was the skinniest kid in the world, where did the fat come from???
