Erin Goes to Lake Powell

I went to Lake Powell last week and it was incredible as always! The picture above is part of the Tapestry Wall in the main channel. We camped in a canyon right next to this massive wall. I had a great time water skiing and wake boarding and started to feel like I was getting much better at wake boarding. Below are some pictures displaying my water skiing "skills".




But then the fun ended a little earlier than I had hoped. On Friday morning I crashed hard and the ski hit my knee and split it down the middle pretty deep. I was rushed back to Bullfrog Marina, about 10 miles away from our canyon and got 8 stitches in my knee. The last 24 hours were a little less fun since I couldn't get in the water or do much of anything but sit and keep my leg elevated. So I read, evened out my tan and took pictures of everyone else skiing. At least it happened at the end of the trip and not at the beginning!

Here I am in the boat ready to take the bumpy ride back to the marina to get stitches.

When I got back, Adrian had shaved my initial in the back of his head in tribute to me and my bum knee, but I think mostly to get a laugh out of everyone, since he was the on-board entertainment for the trip.

Erika, Kim, Katie and me in the boat on the last morning.

I agree with Suze - that first picture looks way professional. You should enlarge it!
