4th of July:
First of all, every year the Dunn's have a 4th of July party at their house. They invite the wards in Friendswood to enjoy a pot-luck dinner, snow cones, a water slide and more. Whitney had her 4th of July outfit on (thank you Savannah) and I couldn't pass up a photo shoot with her cousin Carson (7wks old).
Lake Powell:
Saturday the 5th, Brig, Whitney and I, along with Penny and Adam started the long journey to Lake Powell for a vacation with Dale (oldest brother) and his girlfriend and her family. We got to Snyder, Tx at about 10pm to meet up with Dale. Then we left right away on our long trek, cross country to northern AZ and Southern UT to where Lake Powell is located. The entire trip took us about 32 hours. Whitney handled it great. She hardly cried and slept alot of the time. Brig and I where cramped in the back seat for most of the trip. Sleeping was hard, and so when we finally got there, we, along with everyone else, I'm sure, were exhausted. We made a few stops before we actually got to the Lake. We stopped at Meteor Crater and toured around the site. I'd never been there before, so it was really neat to see. We stopped at the Grand Canyon to check it out. It was really cold and windy. We met up with Dale's girlsfriend's family to camp and then got to Lake Powell and the house boat the next day. The house boat was really cool. There were four double beds and a living room/ kitchen area. There were three decks, one off the back, one off the front and one on top. During the day we skied and tubed. The rocks and cliffs that make up the lake were beautiful. I mostly enjoyed sitting out on the deck as someone drove the houseboat along the narrow lake passages and taking in the views!
New Mexico:
On our way back from the lake, Whitney and I got dropped off in Albuquerque where my Mom just happened to be. She was up there with my Grandmother visiting Cliff Dwellings with My Aunt Tracy and Cousin Jana. We stayed the night in a hotel. Saturday we drove to Las Cruces. While I was there we went to the lake near Las Cruces where my parents own a small house. They have a speed boat and jet-skis there too. I tried to ride the Sky Ski and got up a couple of times, but only for a few seconds. You would think that I would be laked-out, but I had fun being with family, so it was worth it. The rest of my time was spent having dinners and just hanging out with my parents, brothers and their family.

Whitney is so cute! Sounds like you had a great trip. I miss boating during the summer. You guys are such a cute little family!
So fun!! I love Whitney's little swim suit. So cute. Can't wait to see you all again.
It was fun having you here. You did an awesome job on the sky ski!
So close, yet so far away! It's sad knowing you were only 2-3 hours away. But it sounds like you had a good trip and an eventful July. Whitney is looking cute and chubby.
