lake powell

So that Olan Rogers video two posts ago...I knew this was going to happen. I was supposed to blog all about my Lake Powell trip my grandparents, parents, Ash, and I took mid-Nov. But we all know how that turned out haha. Basically, it was more than just a blast, it was a pure gift. To be able to spend that time with them -- genius. Even if there were demon duck-birds, Dad and I almost fell overboard, and the weather was rainy and collllld. It made for some great memories.








 


When we docked at Warm Creek Bay the second night, Ashley and I noticed a few mudducks in the water. Their murky color and way they swivel their long neck forward and around as they run are what make them seem so possessed. It really was creepy. Anyway, I filmed Ash doing one of the Olan Roger things..."What is that!? What is thaaat?!" Like he did in the dare on dare. It became our 'thing' for a while.

Ashley is so cute! And I'm grateful for 4 days in a boat on a barren, cold lake to spend some cramming quality time together haha. Seriously, the day we pulled the boat back into the dock to go home...the sun came out. The sun had not come out even since til that point. Not cool bro, not cool. However, because of it the rain we did get to see some pretty cool waterfalls along some of the canyon which aren't usually there. I actually liked the adventure of the weather. It made the hot chocolate, steaming breakfast, and cuddly nights much cozier.

Next time, grandpa, let's do summer and swim! Now that we're pro. :)
