May 31 - June 3
Tim, Rachel and I drove up to Lake Powell, where we met Rosa! We stayed at Rosa's bunkhouse the first and last night. It was inside the park and overlooks Lone Rock. The first night I took a picture of the sunset from the bunk house, what a great place!

We had a few fun packed days in the water, sun and sand.
A short hike to an overlook of horseshoe bend just below the dam on the Colorado River, a beautiful place, though a bit toasty. We also took in an overlook of the dam on our way back into town.
Sunday night we camped on the beach across from Lone Rock right on the lake. We had a little beach fire and a German father brought his daughter over to see it. It was fun to talk to him about the sights he is going to take in on his three month tour of the western United States, but it was even more fun for him to talk to Rosa in German. He declared her German perfect and said he mistook her for a native. After he left and we had enough coals we cooked our tinfoil dinners - it was great! The wind and the sand were not so great though, and when we woke up a fine layer of sand covered everything.
Monday we hit the lake in rented kayaks. It took a little to get into the rhythm of it, but once we did it was great fun, I think I might have to save up and get one one of these days.
We took a break from paddling to take a swim. We found a nice large rock to jump from. Here we go...
1) Me taking the plunge 2) Rachel halfway 3) Tim just touching 4) Splash!
More kayaking fun!
Rachel even found a few minutes to read on a kayaking trip.
Tuesday we got great deals from one of Rosa connections for a boat tour of Wahweap bay, Antelope canyon and the dam. I took a ton of pictures! So don't worry, it will feel like you were there. Rachel snapped a picture while I was looking for a picture to take, and Tim and Rosa pose for a picture - everyone smiles for the camera!
