Powell

We took a quick Memorial weekend break to Lake Powell. We had a couple days of good weather and then a couple days of storminess. One day we went out early to Padre Bay. Then the storm rolled in. We made our way slowly and treacherously back to the Marina. In the canyon passageway on the way back the waves were huge and foreboding. We all strapped on our lifejackets. At one point we passed a boat that just had the very tip sticking up out of the water after sinking. It was a sketchy time and I'm so glad we made it safely back!

 

Lantern fest

Josh and I went to the lantern fest again. This time with Grandma and Grandpa Korth. McKinley ad Davis went too and met up with us. There was an unfortunate cold front that came through, so it was a bit chilly, but the winds weren't too bad so the lanterns could safely launch. Always magical. 

 

Nose surgery

Sawyer had a nose procedure today to get his nasal passages opened. He's been having congestion for months and months with no help from medication. So we're trying this now.

 

Happy Birthday

McKinley spent her birthday going to visit the Butterfly Dome at Thanksgiving Point, and then we all went to dinner at Tepanyaki's. She ordered this very specifically decorated penguin birthday cake. 

Happy 19th!

 

Braces Day

Hallelujah! Today was the day. After quite a few "last" visits where Hayden's teeth weren't quite ready, we finally made it to the end and he got his braces off!

 

Tulips

We got the Thanksgiving Point family pass this year so we could enjoy the Tulips. It was the tail end of the season, but there were still plenty of blooms!

 

End of the Season

 Josh's soccer team wrapped up their season today. They're a good group of boys and I'm glad he kept at it this year. 

They celebrated at Oscar's with pool party!
