There's nothing like ending the summer with a fun-filled trip to Lake Powell. Mike's uncle and aunt, Richard and Lynne, invited us this year to join them down on their houseboat for a week in September. We decided to bring along Tyler and leave Makenzie. The trip was so much fun!!! It was perfect weather and so nice to just relax. We went swimming, laid out in the sun, read books, played games, went hiking to Rainbow Bridge, cliff-jumping and ate about 20 lbs of snacks. Once again we left with a week's worth of sunny memories to last the year. 
Tyler and Mike on the waverunner.
Tyler loved swimming in the water down at Lake Powell. Since he had a life jacket on it was easy for him to just float and hang out with all of the rest of us in the water.
Our cousins- Ryan and Sarah (nice face Ryan). We love hanging out with them! They are so much fun to goof off with. They always make us laugh so hard!
This is me trying to get fancy jumping off the cliff. Tyler yelled at me from the boat to do a back-flip but I thought better in my old age :) So I did a cheerleading kick instead. Tyler was proud of me anyways and told me what a good job I did when I got back in the boat. 
We bought Tyler a new spiderman fishing rod for this trip. He was so excited to try it out and we did catch a whole bunch of fish. Unfortunately, we didn't get a picture of the HUGE fish that I caught. I was so excited to catch a fish (on my first try by the way) that I started screaming at the top of my lungs. I'm sure I scared all the other fish for miles and woke up anyone who was even the littlest bit sleepy. I couldn't help myself though. It was the biggest fish we caught. I still am so proud!
Mike's grandparents- Oma and Opa - came on this trip and we are so glad they did. They were such a hoot and I'm still amazed at all the things they can still do. I hope I can be as active when I get older.
The rest of the crew - The group that came to Lake Powell with us was so much fun to hang around. I'm still smiling at all of the funny jokes and stories that took place. We can't wait for next year to go back and hang out with everyone again. What a perfect way to end the summer!! Thanks again to Richard, Lynne, Ryan and Sarah for the invite. We love you guys!!
