Lake Powell Summer Vacation

Our big summer vacation happened in July and we went to Lake Powell with the Sherwood family. We were so excited as we left our house that morning...

(Tayler and Sophie did not come.) 

Noah went with Ellie and Roxy in Grandma & Poppy's truck. 

Everyone was so excited to get there and we enjoyed having golf carts transport us back and forth from our cars to the houseboat!

Noah's favorite thing to do at the lake was riding the tubes!! He also loved riding the wave-runners, went knee-boarding, and also went fishing one day with Poppy, Bryan, Brad, and Roxy - but we didn't get many pictures of that stuff.

All the boys tubing... Jax, Davis, Riggs, Noah

Riggs, Jax, Ellie and Noah were the 4 tube masters. They couldn't get enough!

We had lots of fun just being on the boat. One day we took a long ride that included a stop for lunch and swimming, then another pit-stop at Antelope Marina, aka "Cantaloupe Island" for ice cream and swimming in a "pool". 

Russ and mom took some of the kids to do the dam tour on our last day... so we're good for several more years now :)

The best memories were made on the night of our "Sherwood Family 2nd Annual Variety Show". Auburn was our host who organized everything and there were so many great performances...

Grandma & Poppy performing Kenny & Dolly's "I'll be Home with Bells On"

 

Roxy's solo

Lucy's solo

Sisters' dance... "Fat Bottom Girls"

Noah's lip synch "Story Of My Life"

Kaitlyn, Ellie and Roxy performing "Black Horse"

Riggs's "special cartwheel"

Suzanne's solo... "Idiot Boyfriend"

The Gibbons' family number... "Sherwood family evolution"... they found a song that was popular for every year someone in our family was born and then danced to it with moves that were also popular during that time. It was the best!

Lucy & Lance performing "popcorn popping"

Brad & Danielle ... "my boo"

Abby loved the show!
