I love the sunsets at Powell. We are so fortunate to enjoy this beautiful lake.
Brian and Sharla purchased a new wake boarding boat this summer that we used for a new activity.....SURFING! We had so much fun being goofy on the board!
We explored one of the most amazing canyons I have ever hiked. Antelope Canyon is absolutely breathtaking.
Our camera could not do justice to this spectacular canyon. We just kept "Oooing" and "Ahhing" as we rounded every corner in the canyon and took in the scenery before us.
A week after the Powell trip we traded in our swimsuits for our Camo Gear and headed for the Beaver Mountains for the Deer Hunt. Kyle was the camp chef as he used this new camp stove he won from KUTV's 'Roughin-it-Outdoors' snapshot of the week contest.
These Filet Mignon Steaks were soooo Tasty! We also enjoyed fresh-picked corn on the cob, homemade rolls and delicious home-grown peaches in yummy cobler.
After our delicious dinner, we settled in around the campfire as Grandpa Graf read us the story of ole' Ephraim; a Grizzly Bear that terrorized sheep herders in the Cache Mountains years ago. I don't think any of us slept very well after that lovely bedtime story! Coincidentally we were camped at the very site that we spotted two Bears during last years' hunt. Curt is holding onto his hat, bracing for the next spooky sentence Grandpa will utter. What is that dark object I see in the black abyss behind Curt?!? I think I'll leave the bear story home next year.
We survived the long night and climbed out of our warm sleeping bags early the next morning to start the big hunt. Thanks to Kyle's tracking skills, I was able to find this buck and we had another successful hunt. Great memories all around.
