Lake Powell has Come & Gone...

Part 1

We always LOVE Lake Powell..and we were not let down this year.

It was such a FUN week!

Brig & Raegan had great fun with "Cousin Luke"

Brig absolutely loved this trip! Everything about it was heaven to him!!

He loved watching & feeding the Carp, and most of all Fishin' with Daddy!
He even got to Wake Surf & Wake Board with Daddy.

Good Work Brig...it must run in the family!

Brig had so much fun "Lake Surfin'" with Dad that Raegan even took a turn!

We took a Sunday Drive out to Rainbow Bridge. It was beautiful, but to say the least after a long day we were very glad to make it back to the houseboat!

Of course with lots and lots of fun comes Very Sleepy Kids!

Brigs favorite place to sleep was his "Secret Spot"

(under the steering wheel of Pa's skii boat)

This year was extra special because the ENTIRE family made it...so there are many more pictures to come!

So Stay Tuned.....

Let Freedom Ring!!!

Happy 4th of July!

What a fun Holiday...warm weather, NO work for Daddy,

the pool, BBQ & Fireworks!

We had some friends over for a BBQ!The kids kept cool the "Old Fashioned" way...

Running In The Sprinklers!

Brig, Reece & Bryn just goofin' around!

Such cute kids all in 1 FAM...Riley, Hayden & Reece!

Olivia & Raegan!

I try to get a cute pic of me & my hubby, and this is what I get!

"Nice, Paul!"

Really this wasn't on purpose, but we were such "twinners,"

it was worthy of a PIC!

Jeannie, Jen, & Me!

Jeannie & Kyle!

Jen & Dave

Paul thought it would fun to do a little "Mythbusters" experiment!

So he dropped a Mentos candy into a liter of Diet Coke and we watched it explode out of the bottle!

It's not the Fourth of July without Fireworks!

So we headed off to Enjoy The Show

(thanks to the Olsens we found a gerat place to watch them without having to fight the traffic...good work)!!

Despite the look on her face in this picture Raegan LOVED the Fireworks (I think she was irritated in this pic because we turned her head away from them)!

She commented on the fireworks the whole time...."Wow" "Oh Cool" "Pretty"!

Brig loved them too...his favorite were the Green & Purple ones!

At the end of the day the Kids were exhausted & so were we!

Happy Independence Day!

Big Boys in the Big Apple!

The Boys decided that the Henderson Girls Trip looked like fun

So they went on an All Boys Trip to

New York City!

Clint, Paul, Beau, Alan, My Dad

They took good advantage of the couple of days they had there...

They visited the Statue of Liberty (yes...that little tiny statue you see is it)

Happy "Early" Fourth of July!

Clint & Paul at the Very Very top of the Empire State Bldg

(okay 16 stories away from the top)

Not quite sure what this is...but if you look closely at the Bldg it says Cannon Walk.

And below the featured bldg is Paul doing

"The Cannon Walk"

Alan & Dad in Grand Central Station

Takin' a breather from all the Fun!

This is the Memorial for George Washington taking his Oath as The President of the United States.

They also went to Ground Zero & Century 21 (Pauls fav store in NYC)

And Now for the Main Attraction!!!

Vs.

Or you could say the The Henderson's vs. Paul!

A game isn't a game without a friendly rivalry...right?

And for once Paul wasn't standing alone...he had all of New York on his side & Clint even joined in the Yankee fans for a day!

He couldn't be any happier...really, this is a

Dream Come True!

Paul has Always Always wanted to go to a Yankees game at the Yankees Stadium!

And the timing couldn't be better...the plan is for the Yankees to be in a new Stadium by next season, so this was his last chance!

This is the look of VICTORY! Yes, those damn Yankees won 2-1!

It was a close game, and I was rootin' for the A's, but when it was all said and done I was happy for Paul that he got to see the Yankees at the Yankees Stadium and they won!

What a Weekend!

Some more New York Pics for Alan...

"We Represent the Lollipop Guild"

The 4th & Forgotten Member of the Lollipop Guild
