Davis Gluch – Lake Powell July 2009

We took the treck down stream this year. One of the stops we made on the way was up Escalante to see Davis Gulch. The water has come up a lot sense the last time we were here which was 7 years ago. It is always amazing to see the changes through the years. I am glad my kids have the chance to see the way times change even when it is just on the Lake. This trip took us 0ver 10 hoursbut was so worth it. The boys had a blast, and Kenzie is always a trooper in the boat. We took Matt, Brittany, Gage and Garrett with us in our boat and the rest of the clan were with my parents in their boat.

This is all so new to me. I am so used to having the rough and tumble boys around the house. Don’t get me wrong, this little diva can hold her own with anyone but she wants to look good doing it. She will sit in front of this mirror at Lake Powell for a really long time combing her hair just right. She loves playing with the squirt bottle, which brings out the curls.  Just watch out, if you are not paying attention, she will start on your hair next. Which, like the rest of us Young girls, learned from watching Grandma do her magic in her shop.  She is so fun to watch grow up. We are still not used to the screaming which is always extremely loud especially when her brothers are around. We are enjoying her more and more every day. Just wish she would stop growing up so quickly.

We made a day trip this July up to the Ruins in Forgotten Canyon at Lake Powell. The hike was a hot one! Kenzie was not happy about being there and was not in the mood to hike up the mountain in the heat. So, i was the lucky one who got to carry her all the way to the top.The boys on the pther hand, run up the mountain like little moutain goats. Colten could come here every visit to Lake Powell, it is one of his favorite places to see.

Kenzie was fun this time up here, she really liked it. She made me nervous always wanting to look over the edge and watch the boats below. She was “watchin for her daddy” which was WAY down there hiding in the trees with the boat. She was fun to watch go inside the ruins and at one point told me she was staying in the house. There was a guy there who got a kick out of it. He told me that the rent was cheap and that I should take her up on it, there is no mortage.

It was fun to have all the cousins – or those who were with us- enjoy this trip together. They all got along really well.  I am sure more fun times will come in the future!
