Lake Powell and the 1977 Sea Ray

Lake Powell, 1977 Sea RayWe spent the last official weekend of summer at Lake Powell in Southern Utah, camping in the desert sun and swimming nonstop in the 80 degree water. We are far from the motorboat type, but- the 1977 Sea Ray we apprehensively acquired last winter- specifically for the purpose of getting to know Lake Powell a little better- pulled through marvelously. Lake Powell, a 1977 Sea Ray- what more do you need?  September is a great time to go to Lake Powell. Less crowded and of course my favorite part- bathtub water temps.

Lake Powell,  1977 Sea RayThe kids enjoyed playing “Rescue Heros” on the slickrock slope next to our camp. This means pretending someone needs rescuing… running and diving in the water Baywatch style to save them. M, pictured here, needs to go back to Rescue Hero diving school to work on her long-shallow dives. Ironically, she ended up needing a real Rescue Team…

Lake Powell stitches….to put 8 stitches in her head- the back of her head. (I don’t really get how that happened.) In any case she’s got stitches to show everyone at school and I have an insurance company battle brewing (preferred provider, after-hours blah, blah, blah). But, despite that minor set back- the Lake Powell, 1977 Sea Ray holiday weekend was a smashing success and loads of fun.
(I decided to spare you the bloody pre-stitches shot, I didn’t want to make anyone sick.)
