Soakin up the Sun!!!

When I married Zac a couple years ago, I really didn't know what I was getting myself into. You always know you are in for a real thrill ride when it comes to vacations with my in-laws. We finally got to go on our vaction for the summer two weeks ago to Lake Powell. But let me tell you...it's not just some vacation where you get to relax and read a book. (believe me... I tried to read Breaking Dawn...wasn't working for me.) It is truly an adventure. We always have so much fun with all of the fam. Everything from wakeboarding, hiking, zip-lining, knee-boarding, intense card games, and even repelling off freakin huge cliffs. It's always an adventure. And can I brag for just one minute? Zac finally landed a backflip on the wakeboard... Yeah!!!! I have a truly priceless picture of the exact moment he realized he was still above the water. It's great. Here are just a few pics of some of the activities.


The whole crew!!! All 22 of us.
Me enjoying a little boogie-boarding... My success of the week-Doing a 360 on the boogie board.

Here is me repelling. I wish you could see how high this cliff really was. I still have about 150 ft to go. I just forced myself to never look down... Oh and did I mention... I went first.

Zac's priceless face when he realized he landed his backflip. He was so shocked.

This is him mid-flip. He is spotting his landing.

Me. Still attempting to wakeboard. I am getting better.

OH and I got a new camera. Doesn't it take awesome pics. I love this one. The color and the water are awesome.

How fun. You are brave repelling, I am too scared of heights. It makes me sick how these boys can do the backflips and all the tricks. I try them, and face plant it evey time.

Though shalt not covet thy neighbors camera. Or thy cousins vacation. Or something.
