Ben's First Trip to Powell!

Besides being so hot we thought we would die, Ben LOVED Lake Powell. He did surprisingly well on the car ride there. No tears at all. He just played and laughed and slept. He thoroughly enjoyed sampling everyone's watermelon at dinner almost as much as they loved feeding it to him. Ben and I had the most luxurious of dwellings while aboard the Moki Mansion. We had our very own tent on top! He loved sitting in his Bumbo and playing rook with the family, he loved riding in the ski boat, he loved playing with all the family there and he eventually learned to love the lake

Ben's first ride in the ski boat. Lookin' Hot!


Ben with Grandpa Duane sporting a classic Powell hair do.


Grandma had a pretty bad hand and Ben knew it. How sad.


Grandpa Wayne prepping Ben for water entry. He has no idea what is about to happen.


Grandma Gwen and Ben struggled with finding a properly fitting flotation device.


Uncle Erik and EJ (aka Erik Junior). Or so Erik wishes.


Ben took a stab at playing the family card game for himself.


But he found that playing cards was exhausting so he took a nap.


Floating and napping in the lake. It just felt too good after a long hot day!
