The last week of June was spent at Lake Powell, vacationing with Tyson's family. After three years of missing out on the annual Lake Powell vacation, Tyson was thrilled to attend this year. Here's the houseboat we stayed on:
I love being a girl so I don't have to participate in the manual labor of anchoring the boat into the shore.
One of my favorite parts of Lake Powell is the hours we spend playing games! I love that I married into a family that enjoys playing games as much as my family.
Jetskiing was a blast, as always, and even more enjoyable because Colt came along with us and loved every moment. I, however, was slightly terrified at about the same time that Ty decided to reach 60 MPH with Colt and I on the back!
I was a little nervous about taking Colter to Lake Powell, but the weather turned out perfect. It cooled down at night and Colt slept pretty well. He didn't ever jump off the houseboat when sI wasn't looking, and he even liked his baby life jacket...thank goodness because he wore it a lot!
Tyson's mom brought a blow up pool to put on the beach for the grandkids, and it was perfect entertainment for the kiddos! Here's a funny pic that looks like Colt is picking his nose in the pool. Wonder where he learned that from?

The happy couple, Max and Allie, reunited after two long years!
Me and Tyson's mom in our matching swimsuits. Wow, this picture makes me look really white!
Colter and Grandpa, the man who made all the fun possible!
Ty put Colt in a little pink, frilly floaty swimsuit just to see how he'd look. It was pretty funny seeing my little boy walking around in all that pink!
We spent all the time we could out on the beautiful lake wakeboarding. 
My handsome husband is a pretty talented wakeboarder.
He even got up with Colter in his arms. 
Colt wasn't so sure about wakeboarding when he first got in the cold water, but as soon as they were up he was pretty excited about the whole experience. Ty even went in and out of the wake with Colt!
I'm lucky to get out of the wake by myself without face planting, let alone with anyone else in my arms!
Wakeboarding is exhausting...
The last full day at Lake Powell was a little stormy and overcast, but it didn't keep us off the lake! The day ended with a beautiful rainbow.
A perfect photo op to capture all the cousins together at Lake Powell.
Colt figured out that if he stomps his foot, it makes a pretty cool sound. Here's a little video of our little stomper.
The day before Tyson's graduation we celebrated Colter's birthday with a BBQ at a little nearby park in the Presidio. It was so nice that both of our families were there to celebrate!
At first he wasn't sure what to think about the chocolate cake in front of him.
But soon he decided it was finger-lickin' good! 
By the end he was covered in chocolate, and had devoured the cake. He is a boy after my own heart!
Thanks to our families for making Colt's first birthday a special memory for us!
Here is Colter at Tyson's parents' house on his real birthday, June 18th. He was overjoyed with all his new presents from his aunts and uncles and Grandma and Grandpa!
The Davis Family
Our good friends, the Rogers
We couldn't visit the Wharf without one last stop to Ghirardelli for a free chocolate sample.
We also enjoyed a morning showing my family around Golden Gate Park. First, we walked around the Japanese Tea Gardens.
Before leaving Golden Gate Park, we stopped by the giant windmill in the tulip garden. We missed tulip season, but it was beautiful scenery nonetheless.
I'm obsessed with these cute pictures of my little man walking through the columns outside the Legion of Honor.
Last week we took Colt to his first major league baseball game, the Giants vs. the Cardinals. Even though we kept him up an hour and a half past his bed time, he was so good for the whole game! A guy sitting two seats down from us caught two foul balls, and gave one of them to us as a keepsake for Colter. He loved that little ball! The hard part was keeping him from eating it!
