Coming Home!!
One night after the kids were asleep I came downstairs to get a drink when I saw my Mom and sister standing on top of chairs I immediately knew, there was a mouse on the house boat. It didn't take long to discover it wasn't just a mouse but a Pack Rat!! We (the guys) moved all the furniture and set up a barricade so the only way it could go was out of the house boat. The guys then chose a "weapon" to try and catch or kill the thing. My Uncle Scott came in a little later and so he was handed a cake pan. Well after JD and Colby were on the ground face to face with this thing it scurried past them and came straight towards us girls... when out of no where my uncle chucked the cake pan and hit the rat. Colby then ran over and picked up the bloody rat with his tongs and disposed of it!! We all died laughing it was so hillarious!!

Amanda used my Dad's phone to film the whole thing and it is the funniest video ever!!
The Pack Rat Killers and their weapons of chose!! See how happy the guy holding the cake pan is he was the "MAN" of the night !!
There was a HUGE sand hill we parked the house boats against and it was quite the hike to get to the top but the kids (and adults) had fun riding the boogie board down it or just rolling down in the soft sand.
I was very nervous watching Kaden cliff jump from inside the boat.

Kaden loves building things and he spent a good hour examining the each rock and then carefully put them in the perfect place.
It was another fun and exhausting year at Lake Powell, my boys love it more and more every year!!
