Fun Times in August

The month of August has been full of a lot of family camping and fun.   I am way behind on my pictures and have lots of them to add to this blog.   We just returned from a week at Lake Powell last night and while it is fresh on my mind on want to thank my family and friends for making it such a fun trip.   But . . . make no mistake . . . this is a VERY HARD camping experience.   It is not for the "fair weather" camper.   You have to be able to stand extreme heat for 18 hrs a day, endless sand in everything, spiders, ants, mice, lizards, snakes, frogs, toads, wind, and rain, and did I mention more sand???   You have to love the beautiful green water because it is your lifesaver at Powell!!!!   You have to be a hard worker and pull your share of the work and then some.  We go through sunscreen, and water by the gallons and come home dead tired!!   Now some of you may say why do you go every year ???? . . .  it is because of the wonderful memories we create and the bonds we form and the beauty around us that our Father in Heaven has created.
