Annual Powell Neighbor Trip





You would think after spending four days at girls camp with the Peterson's and ten days in Navuoo, we would have been sick of each other but we were having so much fun together we decided to hit the road four days after we got home from Navuoo and go to Lake Powell. Our other neighbor's - the Baum's and the Caldwell's met us down there on the Caldwell's house boat and we had a ball! We have spent the last two years doing this trip and it is always full of laughs.

Dar took us one hundred and fifty miles on an adventure and we ended up in a cool slot up Anasazi canyon. It was fun to stop at Dangling Rope for caramel ice cream and a little break.

We got everyone up on the surf board - except Ken,(maybe next time he said). Russ Baum doubled with Logan Peterson and got him up which was very exciting.

Rob Caldwell rode by the back of what he thought was our house boat and sprayed what he thought was Dar fishing on the back deck. Ooooppps! Wrong house boat. So he sprayed a poor stranger trying to enjoy a few quiet minutes of fishing. He said he realized it wasn't Dar when the guy let loose a whole string of explicit swear words. He should have known it wasn't Dar in the first place because he doesn't fish!

Friday night we had Margaritaville night. None of us drink, but we love to use the Caldwell's Margaritaville drink maker to make non-alcholic drinks. Rob Caldwell's nephew Andrew had the music jammin' and everyone was dancing and laughing and having a great time! My favorite drink was Carrie's pinacolada.

Carrie's Pinacolada

Fill up the blender pitcher half way full with pinacolada drink mix, add in pineapple juice and sprite to fill it up the rest of the way. Blend with a bunch of ice and enjoy after a long hot day in the sun.
