Lake Powell! (long post)

The second week of July we were able to head on up and join a part of Sam's family for their annual Lake Powell vacation! (2 of his brother's and their families came on this trip, along with Trish's sister Carolyn and her daughter. It was such a fun group!) We didn't go the year before because Ivy was too young and didn't feel comfortable traveling with her quite yet.. And boy did we miss it! This year, she was the perfect age for us to be able to enjoy ourselves and for her to actually do quite a bit too! We are always grateful to Dad R. and Trish who host it and this year was extra special because they had a new houseboat! We were actually the very first group on it. Literally! They had just put the boat in the water the DAY before we got there. It was pretty awesome. Anyways, it was a pretty fun week without any stress! Ivy took awesome naps every day, which was soo nice, so her parents could go out and play. When she was awake, she looved taking boat rides while watching daddy wakeboard, playing with all of her fun cousins, and of course playing in the sand. Pretty sure that was her absolute favorite part of the whole week. 

Driving to our camp spot. Dad is so happy, cruising in his new boat:

Ivy doing some yoga while we ride, hehe:

Here's the boat all docked and anchored. "The Bucket List" is the name. Love it:

Ivy loves her Aunt Michelle:

About to go jetskiing with Jess in the first pic, and in the second pic, just lounging around. We did lots of floating. It was so nice. The water was perfect:

Morning wake-board run:

 Playing with daddy in the sand. She was one happy girl:

Brothers.. I bet that's pretty obvious though, lol:

Rainbow Bridge hike.. Or walk, I'd say.. Ivy was a tropper! never whined once during this whole trip. It takes 45 mins by boat to get to this canyon and she slept on the way there, and just jibber jabbered the whole way back haha! And she didn't seem to mind the heat either on the hike. She just loved being on daddy's shoulders:

In the sand again! This was pretty early in the morning, hence the bed-head, hehe:

Lunch with cousins:

Aaaand one more time in the sand, haha. She got so dirty so Sam took her for a swim afterwards:

Ride back to the marina to head home (Dad was staying another week for the next Robinson bunch):

Worn out baby girl. We had so much fun!
