Lake Powell with the Royce's!!

Finally!!! It is that time of year when we get to go to Lake Powell!! YAY!! We try to make it at
least once a year, this year we get to go twice! Next we will be going with the Alba's (my side of the fam).
We left late last Sun. so we decided to stop in a little town called Caineville, population 24!! We stayed at a cute little motel in the middle of endless canyons and rocks, besides that there was NOTHING! But it was so pretty to wake up to.
Rori Ana found a little bug
She loved that little bug SO much she decided to EAT him?!?! Ok, she didn't actually eat him, but she tasted him.



The little monster! You can see it in her face!

Little Oli playing in the bucket.

Once again, with a little work and a lot of cooperation from everyone, we pulled off getting ALL 8 grand babies together for some serious fun! They had a blast playing together, running up and down the beaches and swimming their little hearts out!
Sweet Charlotte playing hide and seek!
Ava got some new teeth in! Weird thing is she looks like a little vampire baby, I have never seen a baby's teeth come in like this before, but I love it! I cant help but laugh every time I see her smile.


Jameson fished his little heart out! He woke up asking for his fishing pole and we had to pry it out of his hands every night before bed. He gets it from his Grandpa Earl, I'm sure. But I was usually right there with him fishing the whole time. He must have caught easily over 50 fish, ranging in all different shapes and sizes!
And here is little Rori with another poor creature she found. My kids LOVE anything that moves, just like their mama. Poor little lizard, not to worry though, nothing was harmed they let everything go after they're done examining it.

These two are best Friends and worst enemy's!

I found a hole in a rock, so I climbed right in!
I was sitting in bat guano!! EW!!


Ava did NOT like her sunglasses!


Chanel made lots of sea shell pies, she also made mud burgers with stick Fry's and rock soup!






Nelly gave grandma a pedicure!

Everyone did lots of cliff diving!




Ava is not so into creepy crawly things like her older siblings, Im sure in time she will get used to them.


And Jameson learned how to wake board!!! He did amazing, just like he does with most other things!! He is so very brave!
Rori Ana also got to wake board! Maybe she will start young too?
It took a lot of work to get all the babies to sit for a picture...




Ava LOVES the sand!
The whole family helped make this little river...


Everytime we got on the boat the babies would fall asleep.





Rori Ana takes her blankie with her EVERYWHERE!! She drug it through the dirt, mud, water etc...



We all had such a great time! Thank you to everyone for making it happen. It was so nice to spend time with the family and to see all the grand kids playing together. I look forward to trying this again next year!

I'm totally jealous! Looks like you guys had so much fun. I'm so glad Rori didn't eat that bug. I would have not been able to read that see the pics without wanting to pewk. All the grandkids look so cute all together.
