Lake Powell

The last 3.5 days in Lake Powell were, well, AMAZING.  So relaxing...and we couldn't have asked for a better traveling toddler.  We only stopped once for gas and a potty break on the 5.5 hour ride up to the Lake and then again on the way home.  She slept in the RV like a trooper.  She hated the sand on her toes, but by the end was playing and splashing around in the water like every other kiddo there.  She even went tubing and wanted it "again" and thought it was "my turn" every time the boat stopped.  She snuck in a nap when she could (usually on the boat in someone's arms or even just sitting in a seat on the boat!).  She really was the best little water loving girl ever!

In mama's sunglasses on the way up!

So glad you had time to relax. Much deserved. Yay! Kiss Leighton for me and have her call me when she's "in the mood"!
