Lake Powell

Daddy and son woke up at o’dark early to go fishing this morning.  AGAIN.  We weren’t too far behind because this Arizona sun comes up early!  The big event of the day was a tour of Lower Antelope Canyon.  The wait was about as long as the tour, honestly.  But, worth it.  It’s difficult to describe the way water has shaped this Navajo sandstone into magnificent sculptures.  We took TOO many photos!

After the desert heat, we headed to our campsite to get our suits and hit the beach.  Good thing we did – the winds were gusting to 40mph and nearly took our tent away!  We got there to find it collapsing onto itself.  After fixing the situation with big rocks (no wonder we found them scattered all over the site!), we headed to Lone Rock Beach, which is also part of Lake Powell but in Big Water, UT.  The view was nice, the water cold, and the wind as strong as ever.  We aborted this mission after 5 minutes because of the sandstorm like conditions.  😉

No sleeping under the stars tonight.  We had to add the fly to keep this tent from blowing away!
