Lake Powell Kiddos:8 8 & Under

We've been going to Lake Powell since before we all had kids, it's Ben's favorite tradition of his family's. We all love it!
It has changed a lot since the kiddos arrived (all at once!)
I would say it's gotten better.
A little less "relaxing," but way better.
This year the weather was perfect Lake Powell weather. It was hot, but the water was warm, so we did a lot of swimming - - perfect! And it wasn't so hot that we couldn't sleep at night, double bonus.

Here are a few things the KIDS got to do at Lake Powell:

We had a pirate auction, where we used our doubloons to get auction items.
(A few were even "pirated"-)
Cute Lisa joined us this year and she could often be found with one...or all...of the kids. 
 A fairy house was hidden outside each day for the kids to find pirate/fairy treasures.

Lots of art, on paper and faces

Art class with lisa:)
Some shell collecting/arranging
 

Kids' Talent Show:

Down-time projector-on-the-ceiling movie

Love all these cute kiddos and love that they are all good friends

Cute Cody:
 I got to be the first experimental nervous breakdown case with a baby in lake powell.  It's gotten WAY easier since then, and now - it's officially vacation again for Ben and I!! (It will be for the others in a few short years:)!)

Cute Logan



AND, last but not least, Water sports!!!:













  


We look forward to next year, when our NEWEST cousin Oakley Mae will join us (maybe? :) )!! She'll be ONE. 
Next year we'll have TEN Crosland cousins!!
