Lake Powell Daytime Adventures

Adventures at Lake Powell after a night of 20* tent-camping... Bring It On!








This is a view of the Glen Canyon Dam at Lake Powell

Aren't these lines awesome in the sandstone?!?!

Fun picture! This picture probably captures the essence of this Spring Break trip for me!

So... this is Chris along the cliffs by Glen Canyon... quite the story transpires between Chris and these cliffs:

"That's not too far... Man, I'd love to cliff-jump, but that water would be cold. But that's a do-able jump..."

"Yeah... that's a really do-able jump. Now, how far would I have to swim to shore? Hmmmmm."

"Well, I'll test the water first. That's the responsible thing to do. Wow! That is cold! That water is really cold."
"But I'm here... and I really want to cliff jump."

"Ya-hoo!"

"That was fun... and cold!"
Chris had to swim about 200 yards in 50* water after making this jump.

He made it. He was red as a radish when he got out of the water and his first words were, "That was really stupid! Really fun, but really stupid!"

"Totally worth it! I got a great story out of it!"

"Brooke, I can see the spot of the cliff where I jumped! Awesome!"

Red Rocks State Park and Sedona Chapel

Sights between Phoenix and Lake Powell. This was Red Rocks State Park near Sedona.
I really like this picture.
The Visitor Center had this sign "How to Drive in a Roundabout." Chris and I found this informational sign really funny... because we drive in Roundabouts all the time. But I'm glad they have this sign for the tourists who don't live in a county full of roundabouts.
Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona
"This Chapel is tall..."
Inside the Chapel was beautiful.
Outside the Chapel
I really like this picture too.
A cool flowering cactus.
The view as we're driving away.
We drove through forest fire.
Okay, it was a controlled burn... but it was in a forest, thus a forest fire. These were the firemen.
A scenic overlook.
On the road again.
"Is that really where we're headed?"
Just kidding, but it does kind of look like that's what I'm thinking. More adventures to come.

Go Cubs!

Root, Root, Root for the CUBBIES, if they don't win it's a shame!

We were in the front row in right field for a spring training game in Surprise, AZ. The Chicago Cubs played the Kansas City Royals and we were really close to the Cub players warming up.

One of them threw Chris a ball... even though he was wearing all Cardinal's gear. Shows you that the Cubbie players really are great guys.


It was a beautiful day for a ball game!
The Cubs and the Royals tied 5-5 and they didn't go to extra innings. It was an exciting game.
