We took our family summer trip this year to Lake Powell. Since we don't own a boat we had never been as a family. I have been once a long time ago and I think Shane had been a time or 2. We had such a fun time. We stayed in Page Arizona and had such good weather. I thought it might be miserably hot but it wasn't. On the drive down we stopped at Bryce Canyon and did one hike. It's all downhill at first and then all uphill on the way back so the end was hard but it was such a pretty hike.
The first full day there we rented a boat and went to the lake. This was such a fun day teaching the kids to wakeboard. I even tried and got up for a short time. I had never tried before and had only ever skied. They loved tubing though the most. We brought lunch and just hung out on the boat the whole day.
The next day we drove two hours to the Grand Canyon. None of us had never been to the South Rim before and it was such a great day. Saw lots of overlooks, took a long walk along the rim and couldn't have asked for better weather in the 80's.
After the Grand Canyon Aria convinced me to take her to the small town Rodeo. It was fun until it got windy and so cold after a rain storm had come through. And they had sooo many entries in each category. But I'm glad Aria got to spend some time watching what she loves!
The last day we were there was the actual 4th of July. We went to the Page Parade where most floats were made from ski boats. We went to their carnival for a bit, got some ice cream. We also went and saw Glen Canyon Dam and then that evening we went to their fireworks show. A pretty chill day but fun to just spend the 4th doing something a little different and seeing how others spend the 4th.
One evening we also went the Horse Shoe Bend Overlook and that was so cool to see. I had always wanted to see it so was glad we got to.
