Lake Powell minus one

So we went to Lake Powell again in August, and it has to be the best time of year to go. The water was 79 to 83 degrees and the days were 95 to 100. The nights cooled off enough to sleep great and it wasn't very crowded (maybe due to gas prices). Any way August is my favorite month, because I love the heat. Bring it on...














Almost lost one.

Kaitlin got to drive the boat by herself because her parents were holding on to dear life. JK, she did a great job.













Alise finally got up and stayed up for a while. All with out a single tear. After that we couldn't get her out of the water. She must have gone 15 times.














Haili wanted to learn to slolomn and got up on her third try.














Kate has been slolomning for a few years and poped right up. Kinda like riding a bike I guess.





It was weird without Daniel and we missed him. He always wanted to go first and this time no one wanted to go first, so Dave finally went. Every one had more time to do what they wanted, cuz Daniel used to eat up alot of time. He'll only miss one summer though and soon he'll be back hoging the water again.

Life in the MTC

Fan mail, how old are Daniels girlfriends anyway?

I didn't really think he would actually use the 4th of July stuff, but he seemed to have some fun with it.

Daniel Rigby has been a friend of Daniels since they were 4 years old. I was cool that they left only a week apart and then ended up in rooms right next to each other. Rigby is going to Florida, spanish speaking. He's been a great friend to Dan.
















If there's a will, there's a way.

Life in the MTC is good. Daniel has found some really neat guys there that he hangs with. Also, he has learned some magic, because there is no way he could do a back flip by himself. He says that it's not as bad as he was expecting and likes most of his instructors. It seems that no matter where they are, boys will be boys. Three of the top missionaries are also writing Kaitlin. The red head is his companion. He just can't seem to get away from them. (his two best friends are red heads).
