Lake Powell over the 4th of July

We went to Lake Powell over the 4th of July weekend and had a blast! We went to Bullfrog Marina on the 4th to watch fireworks over the Lake. It was really cool, but when we got there, the boat somehow made my dads GPS short out, which we were counting on to get back to our houseboat, so we had fun navigating our boat in the pitch dark back home. My dad almost killed us by heading awfully close to the shore, then right into the rock wall, but luckily my mom was there yelling at him to slow down and and guiding us with a spotlight. With a lot of prayers and some luck, we made it safely to our houseboat. It was a tense ride. Then, the following night, we survived a rock fall and a mini tsunami... JK we were never in any real danger. There was a huge boulder that did come crashing down across the lake from where we camped. It happened around 11:00 pm on Saturday night. The lake was so smooth and there was no wind. All of a sudden we heard this huge rumbling noise that reverberated and falling rocks... I actually thought a boat was out and crashed... then this huge wave hit us. It made our houseboat move about 4 feet and our waverunners come way up on shore then back again. It was crazy!! The next morning we discovered that a huge boulder fell off the rock wall and was in the water. You could see the top of it. Scary to think that someone could have been anchored up to that spot in the water!! Despite our adventures, we had a great time. Michael loved playing in the water and going for rides on the waverunner. Michael especially loved driving by himself!! Of course he wasn't alone, but he did a really good job of steering. He doesn't quite have the strength to hold down the gas, but he loved to steer while idling. My little two year old is already driving a waverunner!! Next, I am going to teach him how to ski!!- Maybe in two years. :) I even got up on one ski (I haven't been able to the past two years) so I was way excited about that. Wayne dropped a ski and stayed up on one ski for a little bit. It was awesome!! We really didn't want to come home to the real world, but what do you do?!
