Lake Powell....here we come...


Or not.....So here is the story....We got a new boat by trade and so we were so excited to take the family out. We decided to pack for the day and head to Lake Powell. We are so lucky we only live a couple of hours from such great places. We had coolers full of food, sunscreen and lots of excitement. We were ready to go and off we went. We knew that the weather was not to be in our favor come the high winds in the afternoon but we were ready to take it on. About an hour into the drive Brian turns to me and says "I don't have the boat keys, they are at home" By this time we are at Fredonia, half way there...AAAHHH!!! He checks the boat because we had seen Brianna with them earlier and had no clue where they would even be. So we turned around to go home and find the keys. We got home and started our search for the the keys that Brianna had been playing with. They could be anywhere!!!!! Brian decided to go and check the boat again and look in all crevices. And by doing this realized that we had lost our back seat to the boat. The winds had started to pick up on our way home and somewhere in between the trip home to get the keys we lost the seat...AAHHHH!!!! We dropped the boat and hopped in the truck and went back on a search for the seat while the kids ate the lunch that was packed for the boat day. We were an hour into the trip back and only 10 minutes from Fredonia when we spotted the seat, HALLELUJAH!!! It was a little damaged but that was better than having to replace the whole seat because we did not find it. We were now headed home to find the keys that were still lost. Home at last with seat in hand. Two hours later after searching the whole house and at everything the baby's height WE FOUND THEM. They were zipped up in one of the little puppy carriers, for their play puppies. No boating today it was nap time now and were so exhausted but maybe another day....we will try again tomorrow.
We ended up going to Sand Hollow the next day and really enjoyed our new boat. The memories are already adding up.
