Memorial Day at Lake Powell




We went to Lake Powell for Memorial Day
weekend. We had a great time! The first picture was taken in front of the dam. It is really amazing to see. It's huge and would have to be very strong to hold all that water in Lake Powell.
They said the lake is rising 10 inches a day! That's a lot of water! The other pictures were on our boat rides up some canyons. The canyons were beautiful and the red cliffs seemed to tower over us. Notice that everyone is wearing a hoodie! It was really cold the whole weekend. Only four people out of eleven got in the water the whole time we were there. The sun was hidden all weekend and it rained part of the time. But we had a great time playing games, watching movies, and just being together!
