Me and Sierra with Alli. Sierra is one of my closest friends. We've been close for over 10 years now.
Maddie
Alli is going into Kindergarten. She read to me a whole story out of the Friend with perfect pace. Her fluency is amazing. She pauses in the all the right places. Gives emphasis to correct words. She breezes through words like "encouragable" and "interrupted." The girl is amazing. I haven't seen her in over a year. She remembers me. Always. When I see her she brings up things that happened when I was with her when she was like 2 years old. 
At temple square with Carter's fam.
And Lake Powell! At the beginning of the trip we got some great news! Steph is pregnant! Bring on #5! The kids are all so excited to be big sisters and a big brother.
This was the point where Trina and I stayed on the boat with the babies and everybody else jumped out for an impromptu hike to the top of the mountain.
Antelope Canyon was beautiful. It was even more exhilarating going through it on waverunners than in a boat, because you just feel that much smaller.
Juliette is pouting, because I guess Hunter was carrying her, but put her down because it was getting too steep and dangerous. He didn't think about the fact that she would be scared and would need assistance to continue on. I don't know how that wouldn't have crossed his mind.
We had good water mostly. Though, for one whole day it was really too choppy/windy to ski. I even skiied for the first time behind a wave runner! It was just like getting up on our little Chrysler boat we had when I was growing up. Steph did well getting her spray just right as she cuts back into the wake. Our brothers seem to have always done this, and my slaloming just isn't impressive anymore after I've been doing it for so long. I feel like I always am trying to get the spray, but apparently it's too small to be acknowledgeable. I'm going to get that one of these days.
Isabelle and Juliette. Isabelle still kind of reminds me of me when I was little, but she did mostly when she was just a little bit younger. Now she's just silly and copies whatever Kimball does. Kimball is hilarious. Seriously one of the funniest kids. Kimball and Isabelle called me "Dokey" all week. I don't even know how it got started.
Thanks so much to Trina's family for letting use the house boat, ski boat, and waverunners. It was so fun to all get together.

I love lake powell. It looks like you had a fun trip there. It was so fun to see you.
It was so fun to look at these pictures! I'm so impressed that you and Sierra have remained so close, in many ways I feel like it has been forever since freshman year and in other ways I feel like it was just yesterday.
I'm totally jealous of the lake Powell vacation, I haven't done that in years but it is always so much fun!!!
