Lake Powell Take Two....

The continuing saga of Lake Powell....

We took a couple of excursions out on the deck boat...one day we headed over to Labyrinth Canyon.....we made it as far as the boat could go and then the kids decided to jump out onto the rock walls...first attempt - Daniel literally slid into the water, but we found a spot that wasn't quite so steep and even the dog made it....they clambered over the rocks and found some "quick sand" (basically smelly mud) that they found oh so fun.....




The next day we headed out to Rainbow Bridge.....it's quite the ride in the boat and we were all bundled up from the wind......
but Lake Powell is pretty beautiful....
 as always, Rainbow Bridge never disappoints....I even made it the 1/2 mile hike with my boot :)






We made it all the way back to Padre Bay when our deck boat kinda quit on us (apparently the engine died...) and there we all were floating in the middle of a massive lake.....we barely had time to look around and there was a tow boat passing right by us.....the kids flagged him down and he towed us right back to our houseboat...talk about small miracles!!

And here's a few more random pics to leave with you.....Love Lake Powell:))
