We went to Lake Powell for Memorial Day Weekend. We have never taken our family there so it was a totally new experience. It was much further than Dave actually realized, however, the view when we got there made the drive worth it!
We parked our motorhome right on the beach. The sand was beautiful! That is until the wind started to blow! Unfortunatley, it blew hard! We weren't able to really go on the water for the first three days. That was not fun! We also had to stay inside the motorhome because being outside was like having your body sandblasted!
We went for a short boat ride and came back to both tents FULL of sand! We literally had to use the dustpan to scoop the sand out of the tents! The wind was so strong that it actually snapped one of the poles.
On our last day we were finally able to get out on the water. We headed to Rainbow Bridge. It is the largest natural arch in the world. It really was breath taking. We were so glad that we made it there! A ranger told us that Saturday(when we were originally going to go) was one of the worst days on the water ever! One of the fuel docks actually broke lose! Glad that we didn't go then!
For some unknown reason, Mitch's buddy Andrew gave Justin a goose decoy. Well, that goose came camping with us! Sadly, some of the other children on the beach were not very nice. They wanted to make it so that you couldn't cross certain places on the beach. Justin was feeling pretty bad, then the big boys helped him dig an awesome hole. THEN they had the best idea yet!!! Put the goose out! Noone else will have a goose!!!
We had people stopping and staring, dogs barking and parents laughing!!! Silly goose!
All in all we had a great time. There were a few personality conflicts. That seems to happen when there is one really middle child, life just doesn't go smoothly sometimes. Besides that and the breakdown getting there we really did have fun. We want to go again-without the wind!!!
