Lake Powell Day 2- 7/7/12

Noah in the kayak!
Tim and the girls have their own kayak.
Megan doing some cliff jumping...she's the brave one!
Loving this little cove and the crystal blue water!

Tim and I started off the morning taking a run to Utah.  OK...it is only 1/2 mile away so that's not too impresive but it was a nice run along the path with a great view of the lake.  After that it was breakfast and getting ready for our kayak trip.  We decided to stay in Arizona and just go to the beach area by our campground instead of the boat launch in Utah.  That worked out nicely as we headed off in our Kayaks to who knows where.  We took about an hour on the water and came across this beautiful little rock formation that formed a cove with clear water in between.  We decided to stop there and have lunch...and we didn't leave for the next couple of hours!  We spent time swimming there, watching all of the boats and climbling on the big rocks.  Then Tim and the kids decided to be brave and jump 20 feet into the water from the top of one of the rocks.  It was hilariaous to watch them trying to talk each other into doing it.  Who do you think the first one in was?  It wasn't big, strong Daddy but Megan.  Daddy was next and then Noah.  Even Leah jumped but it did not turn out as well for her...she did a belly/face flop and got the wind knocked out of her.  She's fine but was a little scared.  I found out later that Daddy bribed all of them with $1 to jump!  He was so impressed with them, they each got 5.  After that we had an hour long kayak ride back to the beach where we just swam and enjoyed the water more.  Then we were so done!  Back to the trailer for snacks, water, and air conditioning!  Tonight we will go back to the lodge to the pool and spa.  Tomorrow we head out on a boat tour to see more of the lake.  It was a great day on the water!
