The water in Lake Powell is rising a foot a day this year so each day the kids had a whole new beach to play at. It's hard to wrap your head around how much water is pouring into that lake to make it rise so quickly.
Since it was still a bit early in the year the water was still a bit cold. The kids didn't seem to mind much. Only a couple of the adults braved the water.
All the boys on the trip tried wake surfing. Lance made it look easy of course. It was so fun to watch.
Brad loved every opportunity to hop on the boat. He was all smiles.
Most of the girls floated and relaxed on the lake...even this beauty queen tried.
The kids LOVED playing in the water with Uncle Steve. They would cry out "don't get us wet" then go back for more. Claire just wanted to be held by "safe" Aunt Kari.

The boat we had was really big and nice. Unfortunately the battery had some issues so we didn't get to utilize it as much as we would have liked to.
I couldn't resist this picture. They look so trashy...I love it.
I have a dozen pictures of Claire sleeping on the boat. The rocking motion made her eyelids heavy.
Huddling in the shade.
Brad was much braver on the tube then in years past. I think he liked the fact that he had learned all the hand signals for faster, slower and I'm done. It gave him confidence.
Claire is our little dare devil. She kept signaling faster and slower just because she liked the control.
We did a lot of relaxing and napping on this trip.
Brad lost his front tooth while we were there. He was so concerned the tooth fairy wouldn't find him. It took a lot of convincing that she would knew where he was. He was so excited to give the fairy his tooth. He even brushed the tooth in his hand to make it sparkling clean for the pick up.
Claire was feeling left out after taking pictures of Brad and begged me to take her picture too. She is such a ham.
On the last day Uncle Lance finally helped the kids catch a lizard.
Claire named him "Lizard Pizard"
The food was great as always when camping but the company was even better!!!!

How fun is that? I love that Clair kept falling asleep. And my boys kept telling me about 'lizard'... now I get it!
Looks like so much fun!!! I'm so sad we missed out this year... I wish we could have made it.. there's not much i like more than boating, food and family!! Love you guys!!
So who in the Fischer family is having babies? Tori's blog said she isn't but will be happy watching the new Fischer babIES coming this year. That means more than one? Is it extended family or one of the boys?
