Lake Powell, Utah has to be the most beautiful place to enjoy skiing and tubing. We raced up there one weekend from Prescott ( a mere 5 hours)  to visit cousins David and Lisa, who were vacationing  there while the weather was still warm. We wanted one more chance to see them before we had to leave Prescott for good later in the week. We so enjoyed their company, their generosity, and their sense of adventure! They recently moved into a new home so we didn't get to connect with them this time around as much as we hoped.  We will miss them very much! Happy memories have been formed while we were here out west.

Here’s my sweetheart waterskiing…not bad for a 48 yr old!

Here's Dave showing us how it's done!

The birthday cousins deciding whether to scale that mountain!

Lake Powell itself was incredible. The skies were blue, the cliffs just towered above us, and the water was so calm and warm. It was fun to swim, tube, ski and soak in the gorgeous scenery. We even picnicked on a private island and let the kids explore. As the ten of us all jumped in for one last swim before bringing the boat in for the day, a fleeting thought crossed my mind "Who's manning the boat?" Such a glorious day! Here are some photos. Isn't God's handiwork amazing?

Look at these cliffs! Incredible!
