We had such an amazing time. This was also Brinley's first time camping and I was so impressed with how well behaved she was and how adaptable she was. She didn't bat an eye when we told her she was sleeping in a tent on an air mattress. She slept better, ate better, and behaved better the whole time we were there. We had a pretty crazy wind storm one night and she even woke up during it and went straight back to sleep. The next day it rained and she just took it in stride. What a trooper. We would go out on boat rides every day and she would crawl in my lap and go to sleep and sleep until we were back to the beach. What a great trip, I can't wait to go back with the whole family!
This is Brinley being a ham on the beach. She loved playing in the sand and the water.
Brinley was a little fish. She never cared if the water was cold (it wasn't, its Lake Powell). She wasn't scared of the little fish that kept biting mommy, and she didn't mind the rocks under her feet.
She loved riding in the boats and was awesome about wearing her life jacket. She got a rash on her chin (I so remember that as a kid) but she still wore her life jacket like a champ.
I was surprised that the water didn't scare Brinley at all. She would happily swim out as far as we would let her and she was very good about staying in water below her knees when she didn't have her life jacket on.
Such a good kid. Love this kid.
More playing in the sand. She could pretty much entertain herself all day.

This was our wonderful campsite. Nice little sheltered cove. Camping in a tent at 7 months pregnant wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The nights were a little bit warm but I would do it again in a heartbeat.
I love Lake Powell
Aaron got in some rest and relaxation when he wasn't building sand castles with the kids.
Aaron was so great about setting up shade for his girls. He played in the sand for hours with Brinley while I sat in the water to stay cool.

Brinley was so happy the whole time on this trip.

Can't wait for next year!
