We look forward to this vaca.JPG)
tion every year. We get to do alot of things but Lake Powell is hands down the
funnest place to take a vacation. It's always fun to be out on the water and playing with everyone. It's always a full house, but the more the merrier, right?
There's always the "mishaps" like Brian telling us the rope was clear when it wasn't and catching it in the prop. Prop gets bent and we have to get towed to the marina to change the prop out. Luckily we brought an extra prop with us.
Or there's the one where Ben's neice doesn't know how to drive a waverunner and she crashes int.JPG)
o Ben on other the other waverunner and takes his thigh and another girls knee out. 10 points for you Steph.(j/k)
And how 'bout when Nate thinks that 3/4 of a tank of fuel is enough to drive to Escalante to see the ruins, but he drives an extra 5 miles past the turn off so we lose a total of 10 miles worth of fuel. Once we finally get to Escalante, the guage is pinned on "E" and we still have a 15 mile drive back. Yep, we ran out of gas on the way back to the houseboat. Luckily we found another passing houseboat that hooked us up with some fuel. Once we told them we were from Utah and they saw just Nate and Ben in the boat with 6 other women and a whole slew of kids, the people on the houseboat were SURE that we were polygamists.
And to finish off the trip, Ben and Allyson get lost in Gunnison (Ben's got an unpaid tick.JPG)
et so he woudn't go 10mph over the limit and we lost him) on the way home and had to end up taking the long way through Manti and down Spanish Fork Canyon. Come on Ben. Pay the ticket. Seriously!
We had some interesting t.JPG)
hings happen, but it was still a blast. We had tons of fun with everyone that was there. We can't wait to go again next year. Thanks to everyone for coming and making it a fun vacation.
And thanks to Bart & Yvonne for taking us on this awesome trip every year. You guys are the best.
We can't wait 'til next year when Brandon is home from the mission. It's not the same with out him. We missed you bud.
