The rest of the year (Amy, Ammon & Darius)

OK so Amy and Ammon and Darius overlapped a few days with JJ and Kate which was very fun!!

But we had way better weather as soon as JJ and Kate headed back to Aus....and went houseboating on Lake Powell....

Can I just say BEST houseboating trip EVER....perfect perfect weather....perfect beach location....lots and lots of fun.....

 The weather had been terrible the week before...and so I think most people had abandoned the lake for somewhere warmer...which was fine by us as we had our pick of great beaches to pull the boat up to.....we ended up in a fab spot....lovely sand...

 perfect spot for kayaking.....which Amelia LOVED and was really good at....

 ...a little walkway through to the other side where there were amazing sunsets....then again...the sunsets were amazing from all angles:)
 We got to go out exploring in the boat and on foot....Andrew is an expert at maneuvering the canyons...

 Erm, yes I was a little concerned at these footprints....imagining Mountain Lions lying in wait behind the next rock or tree.....luckily they are just coyote prints...
 pretty flowers along the way....
 Jordan can always manage to find an animal...

Jordan caught some fish....he was the only one who did and was very proud of himself.....Capt Rusty actually gutted them for us and Jordan and Ammon cooked them on a fire and ate them....



Andrew got to ride jet ski's to his hearts content....ok so not that much but he enjoyed it....and Amelia is almost as much of a daredevil as he is....:)
Amy was not too impressed when Andrew tried to abandon her on a rock face....

 We went to Rainbow Bridge (and this year I had an extra charged battery with me.....so we actually got photos!)


 Got to spend lots of quality time together...aaawww...
 And Daniel and I even got to explore some mega cool caves.....very surreal surroundings....



 Great Trip!! Love Lake Powell:)
