Last Lake Powell Trip of the Year

Kinda last minute, we decided to hit Lake Powell just one last time. It was a mid-September trip so the weather was similar to a Memorial Day trip, which means, nicer, less blazing hot weather. It was great! But unlike Memorial Day when the water is trying to get warm, a trip in September has the water slowly cooling down so it's still decently warm.

It was just a trip with my parents, Chase, Ashton, and me. Chase is the only one who did some wakeboarding. We mostly just hung out on the boat and enjoyed the lake one last time for the year. We went over the Poker Run, which is a speed boat race on the lake. For a while we got caught in the middle of it all and had speed boats cruising past us left and right while we were having lunch and it was way fun! Something funny that happened was my mom wanted to climb the sand hill and Chase (who had never done it before) said I'll run up it with you. As they started off, Chase started running and my dad asked me why he is running up it and I said he's never done the sand hill before. haha If you've ever gone up the sand hill at Powell before, you understand why it's funny that he would attempt to run up it. It's massive and extremely steep. When you think you're almost there, you're not. haha My dad and I were cracking up watching him give up running only like 1/3 of the way through the top and seeing him just crash for like 20 minutes once he hit the top. Anyways, that's just a funny side story. It was a great trip!

Look at the pure joy in Chase's face! He loves the lake and wakeboarding and I'm crazy glad. It was risky marrying him because he had never been to Powell or boating before we got married. I got lucky.

And the pure joy in Ashton's face, too! The lake just brings happiness!

See you next year LP when we are a family of 4 (baby sister will be over 6 months... crazy) and I can finally wakeboard and play at Powell because no belly!
