The L.P experience and my S.S.P.s


Yeah for Lake Powell. I spent the past week basking in the sunshine, swimming in the icy waters and braving the sand storms of the spring season. All summed up though, it was a really fun trip. I picked out quite a few of the highlights from the week....including my S.S.P.s.

Here's my sis showing off her amazing skills. I definitely like photographing more than doing....

Here is the infamous Matty strutting his stuff as well over the wake.

Matty also has serious skills when paddle boats and ski ropes come together....ha.


We camped on sand and two vehicles got stuck. Luckily they were freed from the depths of the sand dunes with the help of a smaller toyata, jeep-like vehicle. It was entertaining enough and a bunch of us helped dig out the Hummer. It was definitely a group effort.


These were the classic expressions of our boat's occupants as they witnessed the cars in their devasting positions on the beach....


I call it bubble diving, but I'm not sure what it's true technical name is. You jump off of the boat while it is going a few m.p.h. and the bubbles shoot you out really far.


Just for the record I can wakeboard.......but I am far from having skills.


Yeah ELEN!!! My dearest chum came with me and we traveled to sand dunes many times and explored the nooks and crannies of our camp site.

Raven-eye view of our campsite and some of our boats. We had a cool like bay to ourselves (well...and 40+ other people during the week.) 

We took a canyon excursion one day. It was my first and I found it fabulously cool to look at!!!

My S.S.P.s. We went into town one night for dinner and you have to excuse the name of the place. It was in honor of the Glen Canyon Dam. I found the shirt funny....You can't see the lettering but it says 'look our for lizard dropping' as a lizard falls off of his stool. Oh, and by the way check out the ponytail. I am making some progress and THANK you vegetables/fruits for my shiny hair follicles.

Buddha Power.
Our group was beyond everyone else especially in their spelling abilities. Here's to one of my favorite sayings.

Yeah for Matt's sweet skills! I wish I had the time and patience to do what he does....

Here's some more bubble diving..................the jumper's bottom will be remained nameless...;)
