A Dream Comes True

For years Gary has dreamed of taking a houseboat trip on Lake Powell in Arizona, and for five years now he has tried to make this trip happen but just couldn't pull it off for a variety of reasons.

Well, this is the year to make his dream come true, and we are now on our way to Lake Powell. All of our kids will be there and we will enjoy our first significant family vacation in nine years. We are so excited.

We are driving there in our bbow ["big box on wheels" which is what we affectionately call our Tioga motor home, for those of you who missed our '07 US Tour]

Brandon and Greta are traveling with us driving Gary's pick-up and pulling the "Princess", our ski boat.

Britt and Shana are building a new home this summer so to save some travel time they are flying to meet us on Sunday in Salt Lake City, and Ross, Taya, and Isaiah will also be flying in from Little Rock.

We are so excited to be together. And what a place to meet! Lake Powell is a new adventure to all of us and we can't wait to explore it.

Located on the Colorado River right above the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell is formed by the Glen Canyon Dam. It has more shoreline than the entire West Coast of the United States. Tucked in amazing red rock canyons the scenery looks to be spectacular.

I am so blessed to have a husband who not only dreams big dreams but actually makes them happen.
