Sunday Shots August 7 and 21

Suzanna, Jeris and sleeping Kennedy on the deck of the house boat

On August 7th Suzanna, Kennedy and I piled into a 13 passenger short bus, along with almost the entire Call family, and embarked on a wonderful vacation to Lake Powell. By all estimations it should have been a disaster. We had way too many people, not enough space, limited amount of food, and sweltering hot weather. We also had one of the best Call family trips ever. I had never been to Lake Powell and I was not disappointed. We wakeboarded, tubed, jumped of cliffs and the house boat, and swam like fish (not so much as well as fish, but like fish do, you know, in the water). Probably the best thing we did was stuff our little family in a small two man tent. Kennedy was awesome. She went to sleep early and slept late. Aside from taking up more room than a full sized adult, Kennedy makes for a great camping companion.

On August 14th we didn't take a picture. Suzanna worked the night before and by the time I got home and ready she had gone back to sleep. Just know that we looked real good.

This week, August 21st, we have been living it up in Idaho Falls. Every time I come to Idaho Falls during the winter I remember why I love living in Utah. Every time I come during the summer I can't figure out why I left. The weather is perfect and the land stretches out as far as the eye can see. On Saturday we went to Island Park and floated the river. We rented a flat bottom boat and blew up a couple tubes and relaxed as we meandered through the some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable. We saw fish, osprey and 4 moose. Then on Sunday we got together with the family and had a great dinner. Idaho is the place to be; don't let anyone tell you different.
