Lake Powell

After Brian had been such a trooper with the Lepine gang in Mexico it was time for me to meet his extended family no matter how nervous I was. It actually turned out to be much much less painful then anticipated. We departed Mission in a hurry and started our 16 hour drive to Salt Lake City Utah. Now after in 16 hours in a car I came to one conclusion, a Honda Civic is NOT a good 5 person car.
We had finally arrived in Centerville, Utah and pulled up to the Hales beautiful home. We had some time to kill before embarking on our week journey to Lake Powell so we were able to see Salt Lake City and even go to a SLC Real soccer game. Annie (Brian’s cousin) got great tickets two rows up from the field so it made it even more intense!
We spent a few days in Centerville and then heading the beautiful Lake Powell that I had heard so much about.

It was so great, even more beautiful then the picture I had seen. Our week on Lake Powell consisted of a few things:
1) Eating great food
2) Boating and swimming all day
3) Cards
4) Sleeping under the stars

Now a few things did make this wonderful trip a little more memorable;
1) Getting whipped off the Water Weenie and smashing my ear
2) Learning to sleep in a wicked wind storm, and how to pick up your sleeping gear before the freak rainstorm soaked it.
3) Experiencing what the smell of human faeces smells like when the sewage tank overflows

All in all the trip to Lake Powell was unforgettable!
We made it back to Centerville alive! We had a week to kill in Centerville before the journey home and we got to experience a ton. We went to a SLC Bees game (Baseball team) and saw the Bees beat a Washington State team who are actually owed by Nick Lachey. We made a trip to the outlet stores in Park City, and also got to experience the famous Alpine Slide. The SLC tour was given to those of us who have never been (Myself and... thats it).

Our time in Utah was coming to an end, so we said our goodbyes and headed back to B.C.
Made a quick stop over at Grandpa Cervo's and had a great dinner and a quick sleep before making the last leg of our journey. Although the trip was fantastic it was nice the see my family and get back into our regular routine and beds.

During my stay in the States, I missed my beautiful sister Elise's graduation. She was by far the most gorgeous girl there so I thought I would share some photos. She was also Valedictorian and made a fantastic speech which I was later able to see thanks to my dads fantastic videography skills !
