I can't get all of my pictures to load so this is what we get. Also, I don't have pictures of the drive up (or I do but they won't load... grrrrr...) but let me just tell you that it was pretty cool too because we stopped at some neat-o places!
I will say what sucked right now at the beginning of the post so that the rest of the post will be awesome. I tore my contact the first night, like we set up camp and went to bed and when I woke up my contact was torn in half. AND I didn't even bring a spare pair! AGHHHH! I still can't believe I didn't bring an extra pair. It really did change my camping and boating experience a lot. I am so grateful for contacts, they are the best things ever! Through this camping experience with glasses I became known as glasses Rachel. Which is referring to my attitude when my glasses are on my face. Ashamed I am! But I still had a great time and have fun memories so I know it was truly an AWESOME week that everyone enjoyed immensely.
The water was super low, 100 feet lower than the high water mark. But that made our exploring so much cooler! We saw some awesome things that are normally covered by the water! Here is my slew of pictures and explanations in no order at all. :)
Desperately trying to tan. I've lost my abilities since I graduated high school.
Lunch breaks are the best part of every day! There's something so yummy about sandwiches and chips when you camp!
Grandma showing us how cooling off is done right!
This dead thing REEKED. We didn't even stay in that area for long even though it was cool because this stunk so bad.
At one point we towed another boat back to their camp.
Boys (and men) will be boys.
We camped over mom's birthday and this was her birthday cake! Trust me it was better than cake because we were so hot that the watermelon was GREAT.
My feet are on Jake's lap because there were spiders on the ground EVERYWHERE. EVERY. WHERE. You could not escape them! I was not having any of that!
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear mo-om, happy birthday to you!
This is Rainbow Bridge. One of the seven wonders of the world!
Cleaning up to go home. Bittersweet because a shower sounds so good, but you don't want the camping to be over.
But wait! My pictures are out of order so there's more!
I can't remember what mom and I were doing here, just that it was funny and you all wish you were us!
This place was cool. But glasses Rachel stayed in the boat. ;)
Little bit of tubing, but not much, because really who goes to Lake freakin Powell to go tubing??? Go to Pineview for all that! There's way too much to see and explore!
The girls, grandma, mom, Sari, and I got matching dream catcher bracelets to remember our good time!
HUGE shout out to grandma and grandpa Hathaway for taking us! We had a BLAST and feel so spoiled to have been able to go. Thank you, thank you!!
