Malinda and Sienna Atkin and Rochell

Malinda, Sienna and me on the beach at St. Maarten. This is the beach just off of the appartment that we stayed in. You can see that down below is the ocean. The water was really warm! Not what I had expected at all.

Kayson and Mr.Fish

Kayson caught this stripper. You can't tell that he is proud of himself.

LAKE POWELL 2009

Just for you information I had over 300 picture that we took so when I get some more time I will post some more photos for you.

Well we all went to Lake Powell for vacation at the end of June and the first weed of July. We actually got to stay down there for the fireworks.
We all had a blast with swimming, fishing,tubing and skiing among alot of other things. I think that the highlight for most of us was hiking in the slot canyons. This was a first for all of us at Lake Powell and I think that it will now be a continued tradition for our family. We stayed at lake powell for a wapping 10 days. I think that it was the longest lake powell trip that we have done so far. The kids all had a really good time and they just love to see there cousins and hang out.

FISHING

These are the 4 fish that Travis and I caught. And I dont think that I need to remind anyone who caught the most fish.

Rochell

I haven't been fishing for awhile. On this fishing trip I caught the first two fish then I was glad that Travis finally caught on(I would hate to show him up or somethin) then I caught the last one so if you lost count I caught 3 and Travis caught 1.

This is the Stripper that Travis caught.

Kayson,Jacy, Justin and Travis

This is in the second canyon that we hiked up. It was my favorite. Mainley because we did not have to go thru any water to get there. We all had a great time

This picture is to show you just how narrow the canyon was that we went in. If you look really close you can see that all of us that went on that hike are at the end. Bryan took this picture so we have Travis and me and Kenzie,Kayson,Gatlen, Jeremy,Jacy,Sydney,Justin all at the end of the canyon. It was pretty crazy.

Bryan,Travis,Tammy,Kayson,Sydney and Justin

This was the first slot canyon that we hiked thru. As you can see we had to go thru some water. You just can not even imagin the beautiful canyons and how high the rock really are untill you are at the bottom looking up.

Austin

As you can see this did not end well. I ended up pretty wet

Trav

Travis and I had a water fight with the kids

Kennadi

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Kayson

Holy crap can you belive that Kayson climbed all the way to the top of this rock. When I realized that was my kid at the top I yelled for him to get down and he just laughed at me.

Kennadi

Just another cute picture of Kennadi enjoying the water at Lake Powell

Travis and Kennadi

At first when I took Kennadi in the water all she did was cry. Untill her dad took her out. Now look at her. We couldnt keep her out of the water.

Tubing Fun

Shelbee, Kenzie and Sydney on the tub. I think that Travis may have been trying to scare them a little. But these three girls are fearless.

Kenzie

Mckenzie did get up waterskiing this year. She was way excited. She also wake boarded also this year. She just had a blast

Kayson

Kayson did try to waterski for the first time this year at Lake Powell. If he wouldn't have been so stubborn he might have just got up. Maybe next year!
