Lake Powell

Here are some of the highlights of our trip:

  • On the drive down, Jamie had to go to the bathroom. Joe pulled off to gas the boat, but had to turn it around. Joe told Jamie she could get out, and go to the bathroom. She said no. Joe said, "Fine then just piss your pants, I don't care!" Later Jamie told Joe to piss his pants... :)
  • Still in the car, Jamie showed Whit and myself her swimsuits. Joe said, "What are you doing, like having a little fashion show in the front seat?" Yep we were!
  • When we first got to the boat, the water STUNK. Some Skipperliner people came and cleaned it out... As they were leaving, I wasn't paying attention, and said, "I love you." Once I realised what I had said, I turned red, and the running joke was I would tell anyone, "I loved them." The best part is the guy came back in the boat once I said that... great.
  • Jamie was explaining the positions of management in her store. She said she was a level 1 of 5. Joe said, "No babe, you're more like a 1.89!"
  • Steph FRIED the back of her legs! Worst past, is it is only one little section of her leg. It looks so painful! See picture.
  • What's a Cheney trip if you don't visit the ER!? Well this time, it was my turn. :) First slalom run of the trip, and last for me... yep SUCKED major.
  • Dad told the front desk his name, and the guy brought up Dad's record... "Whoa... Did you used to live at 338 Shamrock Dr?" Yep, they know you dad!
  • ER, check, WalMart, double check! Of the 5 days we were in Lake Powell, we went to WalMart, count it, 5 times!
  • At WalMart, they had the best t-shirt I had ever seen! "Free Gas" with a guy holding a leg up, and gas coming out his behind... yep pretty much sums up the boys in our family!
  • We had a boat that parked way close to us. Out of the whole lake, they were right next to us, and were so LOUD! 12 am, I yelled "shut up, please!" They didn't get it and were still LOUD!
  • The next morning, I woke people up at 4 am. Payback! :)
  • We had some Italians park their houseboat, no kidding like 5 yards away from our boat, in between us, and the LOUD boat. Their anchor ropes were crossing ours, so Dad went out and spoke Spanish to them (remember they were Italian!).
  • We hated the LOUD boat because they caused major problems for us... At Strombolis, they were there. News flash though, they were a SINGLES WARD! Dad called the Bishop a horses behind, and I told them to shut up... great we are definitely going to Heaven!
  • To make it better, Tanner yelled over the bench, "Dad, Kim needs more drugs... Dad Kim needs lower tab!" Great we are rude and druggies!
  • Dad told me, "I have enough stuff to keep you doped up for a long time!"
  • On the tube, Whitty tilted her head back, and spit. Yep, the spit went right up her nose!
  • I pressed the power button on Dad's radio, but his antenna was jacked and wouldn't go up. Yep, he blamed me for ruining his radio... but I have witnesses, it wasn't me!
  • Jamie, Whit, Steph and myself were on the back of the boat, shaving. Dad told us it was a photo moment... to bad when he came out, we were shaving our arm pits... "Woops, maybe not, sorry..." Haha sorry Dad!
  • Steph said she had to do laundry. She came back 2 minutes later with her wet swimsuit. Lake water, yum, clean!
  • Shortie got a high school musical magazine. She gave Jamie and Steph the "Are you ready for love?" quiz, well let's hope so!
  • The cut through is OPEN! Dad and Shortie saw a Kyaker come through! :)
  • Shortie and Mom fed the ducks. They were like little Lindas except they didn't let the ducks sleep in their sleeping bags :)

There is so much more, but I think this is enough... :)

But so sorry about your arm! How's it feeling? Any diagnosis yet?

And how about some pictures? :)
