Me and Gideon went to my family annual Lake Powell trip back in September (I'm still playing catch up with my posts!)
This year was a little different because my family ended up renting a house boat with 5 out of my 8 siblings, plus my parents. It was a little crowded and we weathered a crazy storm that shook the boat all night long. It was a very frightening night, we found out in the morning that other boats had been tipped and all sorts of crazy things.
However, after the storm the weather cleared up and it turned into a beautiful boating vacation. My dad was able to knee board (which I'm amazed at!) and we were able to play in the sun.
What is great about renting a house boat is that you can camp in a beautiful, isolated spot that you couldn't get to unless you got there by boat. We found this perfect little sandy beach to park the boat on and just enjoyed the scenery.
This trip was hard with a baby. It was actually the only hard trip I've had with Carter so far. And we drove to California when he was 3 weeks old and hiked in Zions National Park when he was 3 months! Just goes to show what a good baby we have lucked out with. For some reason, he was up both nights of the trip, which made it really hard for me to enjoy the next day, when you are that tired. We managed to push through and will still be going next year!!
