When going out for the day, we would load up the ski boats and head out exploring the nooks and crannies of Lake Powell. Occasionally we would all pile into one boat to save on gas, and that was an adventure in itself with over 20 of us.
I rediscovered my uneasiness with steep cliffs and drop offs that I have previously felt at the volcanos of Kona, HI. I am usually pretty sane and rational, but not on rock face drops. While we climbed up to view Indian ruins all I could do was focus on getting myself up and I was useless as a parent. Luckily my friend Therese stepped in and helped get my kids up and down. You can see in the following picture Aaron carried Lucas (I have no idea how he did it). 
The kids loved the view and cliff edges. Here is a picture of Taybor, Ian, T.J., Lucas and Brooklyn. 
We made it to the ruins. Although my stomach was struggling with the heights, the ruins were inspiring. How could people live here?!? Thanks to the Wagstaff's and Schick's for making this trip possible for us. (Pictured: Denny, Therese, Jeremy, Ian & Brooklyn)
Brooklyn was lizard hunting and caught one by the tail. Now we all know what happens when you catch a lizard by the tail, right? Brooklyn was taken by surprise! Here is a great shot of her holding the tail while it was still shaking around in her hands.
