Yearly Powell Trip 2013

In an attempt to avoid last year's stormy weather, we planned our Powell trip at the end of September.  It didn't work.  So much for that idea.  I guess the law of averages just caught up with us.  It must be mathematically impossible to have perfect weather every single year.  Anyway our 10 year run of great weather has hit a two year bad weather stretch.  We traveled over on Thursday and found ourselves in a wind storm.  Even so we still launched our boat and had an exciting trip up the lake.  We only took one wave over the bow but water spray still soaked us.  On the bright side, there were few people on the lake and we had many beaches to choose from.  We settled in on the west side of Gregory Butte.  It turned out to be our best camp spot ever.  The weather improved dramatically the next two days and we all had a great time.  There was even a brief debate on Saturday afternoon to justify a decision to stay on the lake another day.

 The football game was spirited and resulted in a tie.  Larsens don't like to lose.

 Wakeboarding & surfing time!

Siena celebrated her sixth birthday on the second day of the trip.  She had such a fun time!  What a beautiful girl!
