Our friends, the Hunts, gave us the greatest opportunity a few weeks ago to accompany them to Lake Powell. That was a fun week. Every single day on the lake.
So first of all was us driving up there. We had a lot of fun listening to 20th century old time radio tapes such as Who's on First and Orson Welles, "The War of the Worlds". We stopped at a diner to eat and while there we found some of the funniest books we've ever read. They had titles such as "How to cheer up the Crabby People in your life","The Outhouse Book", "How to Stay Humble when you're Smarter than everybody else", "Some things are worse than being older than Dirt", and "How to make people think you're Normal". Here's a picture of the Author's name.
After that we drove some more before I fell asleep. We got there early the next morning and got into bed. I would have slept til noon except for some reason me and the bed didn't get along to well. That was the only downside of the trip was a lack of really refreshing sleep. After that the days were almost exactly the same, which was wonderful. Boating, Tubing, Wakeboarding, Cliff Diving (only about 10 feet), and a trip to Rainbow Bridge. Here's some pictures.

On our last day there a very special occurance happened. We had stopped at a hidden beach for lunch when a freak storm came out of nowhere. We were pretty sheltered in this cove thing but we were stuck there for a few hours because the waves were too big to leave as soon as we got into open water. Another family was near us also on the beach but more open to the wind. Their boat started to drift away and their dad jumped in the water to get it. He had no life jacket because it was in the boat. Darrel drove out there to get the boat but was inspired to go to the man first. It didn't look like it, but the man was drowning. He had cramped up and the waves weren't letting him go anywhere. We saved his life that day. It still amazes me that we saved a human life. We went home that night in much the same fashion that we left, but with thankful hearts to our God and Father.
