Our Spontaneous Lake Powell trip after a late night baptism

My little nephew Ben had his baptism memorial weekend.  We had wanted to go to Lake Powell but thought it was more important to have Ben get baptized and be there. We decided to take off right after.  We had a fun backyard picnic with the family and then went over to the stake center for the 6:30 baptism. No one had opened the church or filled the font so we ended up not having the baptism until 8:30. It was a great baptism. I love seeing kids get baptized.  Afterwards we quickly set out for Powell.
We ended up sleeping in the Price Walmart parking lot that night at 1:00 am.  Conner thought sleeping at Walmart was the coolest thing ever.
We then woke up early and drove into Hite. We had the boat in the water by 10:00 am and stayed on the Lake all day.  We cliff dived, swam, wake boarded, tubed, fished and laughed. We then woke up the next day and started all again.  We drove home late that night. It was a quick 48 hours of fun! I'll bet we will do it again soon!
