My awesome Uncle invited us to go out with him on his houseboat this year because the only one in his family that could make it was Rachel and her family. We totally took him up on the offer and I'm so glad that we did. It was awesome.
The crazies and I left Friday afternoon and headed out of town for a fun filled trip. The crazies were all in good moods and we were all dancing and singing.
Before we had gotten to Mesquite Annie told me that her belly hurt and I told her to put her coloring book down. Then when we got to Mesquite Jo Jo starts crying and finally tells me that her belly hurts and she threw up a little in her mouth. I was passing a semi and couldn't pull over, so I turned around to ask her if she was serious and right then she threw up. I hurried and pulled over and cleaned up. (Poor little girls got my stomach. I can't do ANYTHING in a moving vehicle.) We had to change her outfit and she had to sit on a towel.
We got there and met up with my family in Page. We then went to the house boat and unloaded all of our things. We slept on the boat that night because we were scheduled to have the boat taken to the lake at 6am. We finally got to the lake and started out finding a good place. The kids were so excited to be out on the lake.
Except I'm not sure why this little one wasn't as excited.
The kids had a blast on the beach and would have spent the whole time there if we would have let them.
We did some exploring. We went to some narrow passages and we went and saw Rainbow Bridge--which is the largest natural bridge. It was fun to see all of the beauty.
We rode some jet skis, and the paddle boat. Annie rode the "giant banana". And some of the adults wake boarded. I even got up my first time--Rock On!
The little kids got to fish. Although the crazies stayed far away when a fish was caught. There was no way that you could get them anywhere near them.
We relaxed and played hard.
Here is a pic of our "house"--The Sola Vista.
And of course my family can't go anywhere without someone getting hurt. This time it was Jo Jo....
Thank you Uncle Gary for a fun time. I wish I could have stayed longer, but the kids were driving me crazy. :)

looks like you guys had a fun time. sorry we missed it!
I feel so bad about Jo Jo's eye! I can't believe that it happened to the same girl on the same eye. Poor girl!
I had so much fun hanging out with you guys! I miss you already!
Looks like lots of fun. Someday we might quit being pregnant and get to do stuff with ya.
But I gotta say, you have to quit beating on your kids, I am not sure their faces can take much more.
looks like so much fun!!
I am so jealous! sorry we couldn't go!
I just saw Gary this past weekend and we were talking about your trip so I had to go find your post about it. Looks like so much fun! I am very, very jealous!
Looks like fun! You are brave to take your girls, I am terrified to take kids! Scary!
