Lake Powell Part Two

Our second afternoon we had a little bit of a crazy storm come in and cause a little havoc. It started off as these crazy clouds and then the lighting came. The wind picked up and the sand started stirring up. We tied down everything that could fly away and closed up the boat. It passed over fairly quickly and without any damage. 

Earlier in the day, all of the boys had gone clam hunting. They came back with quite a few of them and decided to pry them open with heat. I had never opened one before, but evidently, when you open them, they spit water at you. It kind of their last defense I suppose. So as the flame rose the spitting started, causing the fire to sizzle a bit. It was fun. 

And of course, a little fire isn't as cool as a big fire! There were a few huge tumbleweeds in the area that Ethan decided to throw into the fire. It heated up real quick (which I loved because I was a tad chilled!). 

 Look how cute that pyro is playing with the fire.

To go along with many other things I've never done/tried, was jumping off higher areas into the water. In this case it was the boat. Once I actually jumped I realized it really wasn't as high as I thought it would be, but it was high enough. Hopefully that will help ease me into jumping off higher things such as a bridge or cliffs in the future! And in true Kaytlin fashion, I plugged my nose.

 Then there was Ethan who decided to back flip off like it was no big deal.

He landed it perfectly contrary to what the picture above would make you think. My second jump I decided to skip the nose plugging but unfortunately covered my face with my arm. Picture fail.

Because our anniversary was coming up, Brennan decided to take some anniversary pictures. This is just one of MANY we took.

The next morning was the Walker double tubing tradition. Most of the pictures were completely unflattering faces, but there were a few that were presentable.

 We did indeed end up on top of their tube twice.

What is this? Just another picture that makes my heart flutter. 

The scenery, as I said before, was completely breathtaking. We decided to take full advantage of the beauty. These people are honestly more like family than friends and we wouldn't have it any other way!

These two are best buddies and Brennan and I couldn't be more thrilled!

Another beautiful sunset on the lake.

Love this face!

The next day was another round of water fun. We pulled out the knee board and the wakeboard and hit the wake.

 This next series is what I like to call an epic fail.

 Look! No hands!

Love her!

It was another amazing day on the lake, no surprise. I don't know how many times Ethan and I said how much we want a boat and become "boat people."
