Lake Powell Reunion 2008

This last week was our annual Harrison Family reunion down at Lake Powell. Our family bought into a houseboat timeshare 3 years ago, and although the trip is a ton of work, we always have a ROCKIN Good time! Here’s just a few of the fun things we did this year.

Took the kids on Lots of Boat Rides

Had Tube Wars Behind The Boat

Lounged around on Floatie Toys in 104 degree weather only to be surprised by our local Scuba Divers who liked to surprise us and push us into the water. 🙂 This is picture is just before one of these said attacks. Lucky for me, I played the pregnant card and got left alone!

Found pirate swords all over the place

Took lots of naps

Played on the Tubs a LOT

Bransons First Ride of the Year (Last year he totally freaked out)

This year….he didn’t find it quite as exciting and actually fell ASLEEP half way through the ride!

More Naps


Spent time with busy spouses

Bonded with cousins

Blew Bubbles with Papa

Learned how to breath underwater


Caught Lizards (Jasmine caught this little guy all by herself!)

Caught more lizards…some of which only half were caught! (don’t look too close)

Went hiking on the rocks

Rolled Rocks Down Cliffs into the Water

Had Gushy Mush Moments

Became Pirates

Found a Treasure Chest

Played on Nana’s Floatie Tubes

Flexed Muscles

Found the Perfect Houseboat Spot

Spent time together as a family

Went on a Treasure Hunt

Got Pirate Patches

And Tatoos


Took more Naps (pretty much every single time he got on the speed boat!)

Took Harrison on a leisurely 2 Minute Tube Ride (He cried the whole time)

I drove the boat and made the boys crash on the Tubes about every 30 seconds.

Posed for Picures

Sang Yo Yo Pirate Songs into Cups for pirate initiation

Got Squirted by Papa and his new Water Chair

Went Scuba Diving and Spear Fishing

Fished off the back of the Boat


And last but not least….We Took it EASY!


All in all it was an absolutely wonderful vacation and I’m happy to say we didn’t have any major catastrophes or set backs. (This may have been the first time in Harrison Family Reunion History that some big disaster didn’t happen) Besides the water going up a foot a day, the 104 degree weather, and getting my first speeding ticket EVER on the way home (I had a good 14 year run), everything went pretty smoothly and we just enjoyed being together! Thanks all for a delightful time. We love your guts!
