Lake Powell

Two weekends ago Cory's work paid for their employee's and a guest to go to Lake Powell for the weekend. We left the boys with some very wonder friends and headed on a 6 hour chartered bus trip to Powell. The ride up wasn't so bad. It was a really nice bus. It had tv screens every couple of seats and they played movies on the way up and back.
We arrived at the hotel and had dinner and a fun couple hours of Bunco before heading off to bed. (btw, I won $20 for the most wins.) We got up early the next morning ate breakfast and got on a boat for a tour of Lake Powell. It was really nice. It took 3 hours to get to the place where we were to hike a mile up to Rainbow Bridge. I decided to say on the boat and work on my tan a little. I wasn't about to induce labor by hiking 2 miles. :) Cory said it was beautiful and by the looks of the picture it was. When everyone came back to the boat we had lunch and then took another 3 hour boat ride back to the hotel where we boarded the chartered bus again and headed on home to Phoenix. We did stop in Flagstaff for dinner.
The ride home was a little bit tougher for me at least. See when I decided to say on the boat and "tan" we then decided to stay on the top of the boat in the sun on the way back to the hotel. We both fell asleep in the warm sun. Needless to say I didn't tan I cooked like a piece of bacon! So just the tops of my legs, arms and face got bright red. Stupid sunscreen. Cory was a little pink but nothing like me. He is now nice and tan and I am pink still and peeling like crazy... (I know tmi.)
Anyway, It was a fun little trip and it was nice to get away for just one night and do something without the boys. Funny thing when the boys woke up Sunday morning and saw us home Jovin said, "You're back" and ran onto our bed. Mayer just kept looking at me and then Cory over and over again with a huge grin. Apparently they missed us a little.

Beautiful pictures! What a fun little trip - but no fun getting fried! You only have a couple months to go till your new baby boy is here right? So exciting!

Burning in the sun is the state pastime here in Florida. If you are a beautiful pinkish hue, you would fit in rather nicely.
