Damon and I went on an adults only trip to Lake Powell in September. We had a great time visiting with friends, swimming, water skiing, fishing and exploring the lake. My favorite part was when we would go on a boat ride and find inlets in the rocks and take our boat as far into them as we could. We would turn the motor off and move the boat further in by guiding it with our hands on the rock wall. If our boat was "stuck" but the inlet went further we would get out and swim until it ended. There was one time when it felt like we were swimming in a cave it was so dark because the rock walls were so high and so close around us. We came to a part were the mountain seperated and we could see a patch of the sky. It was beautiful looking up from the water at these red rocks that spiraled up with the bright blue sky in the center. If only I had a water proof camera! Here are some of the pictures I did take.
Fun trip! I'm jealous! You guys are lucky to have lots of family so close to leave kids with! I have only been away from Aiden one night and that is when I had Eva!
let kids "carve" with a bar of soap and a plastic butter knife
make "spy gadgets" out of empty toilet paper rolls
freeze army men or other small toys in a one gallon ice cream bucket then give them kid appropriate hammers and let them go to town trying to get the toys out
make up funny names (see my post "New Name" it's quite fun)
make up your own stories
make fruit loop necklaces
have your kids fold cloth napkins while you fix dinner
play "going on a bear hunt"
kids love empty boxes!
push your kids around or let them push each other in a laundry basket
do jumping jacks (this can be hilarious)
let your kids get messy while playing with shaving cream on a cookie sheet
