This year we were able to go with both our families to their favorite annual vacation spots! At the end of July we went to Lake Powell with my family. We discovered that Sam is a little fish. He loved swimming with his Dad, that is, after he got used to the initial shock of the cool water! He was a little trooper at wearing his live jacket. Which made his parents a little less nervous. It was wonderful to be there and enjoy the water during the day and the amazing stars at night.
The water felt a little chili when we first got in, Sam wasn't too sure what he thought about it:
But after a while, he decided it wasn't too bad! Even "Torpedo" Chance got in for a swim.
Drying off with Dad & Fruit loops, the comfort food.
Make-up and hair don't really matter here!
We walked a ways up a canyon looking for some indian ruins.
And of course, boat rides are always refreshing in that heat!

The Thunell family goes up to Colter Bay every year to the tent cabins. Sam went last year, but doesn't remember much of it. My favorite part was falling to sleep at night to the fire J.M. made for us in the stove.
We took a break from the car ride on the way there, and found a teeter-totter.
Going for a canoe ride.

The afternoon activities were wonderful! They consisted of: sitting on the beach, eating all the treats Steve could find, canoe rides, jumping off the rock, and enjoying the beauty of God's creations.

J.M. is so good at finding things to entertain Sam... and the rest of us!
Getting ready to leave.
Saying good-bye, until next year.

wow! looks like you had a fun summer! I love your pix. Makes me realize I need a summer vacation too!
Just looking at those pictures makes me need a nice long nap. Autumn watched the clips of Sam with me and wants to play with Sam today. Can he come over?
You have the cutest little family! I love looking at your blog. Sam is going to be such an awesome boy when he grows up, because of all the fun experiences you are creating for him :0
Oh so cute! I love it! I'm so glad we were able to spend time with you guys up at the tent cabins. It was so fun. We owe you guys.
