We started out riding in Ryan's truck. He got new tires and his oil changed and a chip put in all in anticipation of this trip. Well, we made it 10 miles out of Sipio and his truck just died. No power. Luckily his mom has AAA. We called and a tow trick came put Ryan's truck on the flat bed and hooked up the boot to the hitch. Ryan and his dad rode with the tow truck and the rest of us (Nathan, Natalie, Alli, Terri and I) piled in the BMW to continue on our way. They towed the boat to Sipio and the truck to Provo where some really nice friends met Ryan with the Suburban so they could continue to Page the same night. Poor Alli got stuck in the back with two car seats. I don't know if you've ever been in the backseat of a BMW but it's not all that big. Anyway, we made it to Kanab and were all in need of something to eat. The only thing open to Nathan's delight was Mc Donalds. Natalie had a rough time falling asleep and so we were trying to keep her sleeping. We went through the drive through and Terri starts ordering (in a whisper) "We'll have two happy meals." "What?" (A little louder but still whispering) "We'll have two happy meals" Anyway it went on like this until our order was complete. We ended up ordering two happy meals with drinks, 3 waters, two sundaes, two parfaes, and a 6 piece chicken nugget. When we got to the window the guy was a bit put out by how many drinks he had to get. He started giving them to us and we were looking for places to put all these things. I handed Nathan his drink and he has the nerve to ask Alli if she can scoot over. He wanted to open his cup holder. And the thing of it is, Alli does! So I get my camera and take this picture and in the mean time knock the center console shut which was holding one sundae and a parfae. I grab a wipe and clean it up. Then Terri goes to do something and knocks the other sundae and parfae over. She turns to the guy at the window and in her nicest quietest voice asks for more napkins. I am dying with laughter at this point and we move forward to clean up the mess and realize we have one too many waters and so we throw away one of them hoping the guy at the window isn't watching but not able to control our laughter and at the same time trying to be as quiet as we could so Natalie would keep sleeping. Well, she did and we made it safely to Page. Ryan and Steve followed and arrived three hours later.
Shortly after the McDonald's fiasco. Alli is so good to him.
We discovered Nathan was allergic to wheat about three years ago and since then he has had a wheat-free diet. Well, about a month ago we decided to give it a try because the dr had told us kids usually grow out of it by the time they are six. He didn't have any reaction so we tried again a week later. Soon we were trying half a sandwich every four days then every other day then every day and finally on this trip we lifted all restrictions. This is not such a great picture but, Nathan is enjoying some wheat desserts, cookies and twinkies were the big hits. I had to explain to him we don't always eat these things in fact very rarely do I buy those kind of things so enjoy it while we are on vacation.
Nathan trying to balance on his crab. I'm helping the best I can.
Natalie only went in the water twice. This was the first time. She seemed to like it even though it was a bit cool.
Ryan did lots of the driving.
Just a cool shot of the rock.
We stopped so most could go explore the rocks. This is some of them coming back.
Nathan being taken care of while coming down the rock. He has the best aunts!
Natalie free from her life jacket for a brief moment. Obviously happy about that.
Natalie and Alli after our pizza at The Point restaurant at Antelope Point.
Nathan got everyone to strike a crazy pose.
Nathan finally smiled so Alli could get a picture with him for her room.
This picture doesn't need much explaining.
Natalie helping dad drive the boat. It was a great trip. We had perfect weather. Natalie did really good for her first time on a boat having to wear a life jacket the whole time. And Nathan really enjoyed Lake Powell this year. He has always liked it and been really good on the boat but this year he loved it. He is so much more comfortable and has no fear about jumping in on his own. He had plenty of people there to "take care" of him which was so nice for me. We love Lake Powell. And we were able to pick Ryan's truck up in Provo all fixed on the way home.
