THE HARWARDS: LAKE POWELL W/ REEDERS

FINALLY we got the Reeders to come to Lake Powell with us! Jk it was so fun we went over the Labor Day weekend. Kassy called me on Wednesday asked me what Nate and I were doing this weekend I said nothing but we really want to go to Lake Powell. So I called Nate she called Jason and we were able to put it together in less then a day and 24 hours later they were on their way down to Utah in their new Suburban to pick us up. We rode with them and we just put the boat behind the new burb and it pulled it like a champ minus the 10mpg we got!! They live in Boise so this was going to be a 12 hour drive for them (thank goodness for DVD in cars!) They got to our house at 1:30am slept till about 3:30am and then we were off to Lake Powell. Jason got in his zone with his headphones and some funky energy thing and while we all slept he drove! Hes great! Maggie also got to come on this trip it was her first one to Lake Powell and she loved it! We borrowed the Harwards houseboat for the weekend which was great found us a spot to anchor and we were ready to go! Nate was the captain and did a great job, this was our first adventure by ourselves so it was a little intense but it was so fun. We pulled out the tube and the boys went on them and loved it, Me, Kassy and Wyatt (we got him so Nate didnt kill us) got on them and then it was Jason and Nates turn. It was pretty funny, Nate taught Jason how to barrel roll and Nate was jumping on Jason with his tube.. it was fun. We surfed (boys hated it!) jumped cliffs and Porter was the Champ, Wyatt loved riding in the boat and hanging on the beach and Cohl jumped off the house boat and got up on the wake board. It was great weather for the first day but then it was on and off again. We all slept up top the first 2 nights but the last night it was so windy and then started to rain so Nate Maggie and I went down below. The last day we went wake boarding, Nate went out did awesome as usual and then it was my turn!... well I was doing good but just had to push it one more time..well that one more time caused me a knock out, concussion, pulled mussels in my neck, and 3 chipped teeth!! I crashed so hard and it hurt so bad. I started to cry looked in the mirror and saw my teeth then cried harder. They took me back to the houseboat I laid down and continued to cry everything hurt. Kass said I was asking the same questions over and over but I dont believe her! jk Nate was great he took awesome care of me! We left that day and drove home which was so painful we got home around 1am and that next day I hurt so bad! I couldn't move my neck, my head killed and I just wanted to sleep. Nate took good care of me though out the week cooked dinner which was take out! and got me whatever I needed. My parents came and stopped by and Kass and Jay were awesome too! It took me about a week to recover, I got my teeth fixed 600.00 later and since then have not been back on a wake board! We had so much fun with the Reeders and hopefully we can find a boat and get a share together so that this can be a tradition!
