Family Hike

We got back from Lake Powell and Matt had taken an extra day off so we decided to go for a family hike up Bell Canyon. Usually Matt and Zach just go. Savannah has been begging to go with the boys and I thought I was in good enough shape I could do it with Dylan on my back. Man was it hard with and extra 30 lbs. Matt and the kids are fast hikers and they had to wait for me and Dylan. I soon as would catch up they would start going again so I didn't have much time to rest if I wanted to keep up with them.

Here we are at the reservoir. Matt and Zach hiked up even further while the rest of us hiked back down.

Savannah and Zach wanted to go swimming in the water. It looked very refreshing!

Isn't that sweet. Zach was helping Savannah up the trail for her first hike with the boys. Later on she was pulling him!

Schettler Family Trip - Lake Powell 2009

Here we are at Lake Powell for the 2009 Schettler Family trip. We always have such a fun time together. My whole family was able to come minus about 3 people. Dylan was trooper with wearing his life jacket. He would scream as soon as we would put it on. I was attached to him the whole trip. I think he was glad to finally be home because he had his freedom. I was glad to not be holding him 8 hours a day.

Our designated seat on the boat. We were lucky to sit here - there were a couple of times the waves came over the bow of the boat and soaked everybody but us!!

This was Zach's favorite spot in the boat. He loved the wind in his face.

Matt, Zach and Savannah hiked up to some indian ruins. They love to hike and made Daddy really nervous with their carefree steps.


This was Savannah's favorite spot. She loved the water and swimming. Everytime the boat stopped she was ready to jump out and go swimming.

This was Dylan's favorite spot. He loved dangling his feet off the back of the boat. He even went in swimming with Daddy. The water was much cooler this year due to all the cooler weather but he loved the water anyway.
