When we went to Page we took a boat tour and a tour through the slot canyons( one on each day).  On the first day we took a tour through the slot canyons.  Our tour guide’s name was Nate. He knew all the perfect places for pictures.  He also knew a bunch of names for formations.  The first canyon’s name was antelope canyon.  The pictures were majestic.  I got to take a few it was pretty dark at some spots I will say.  One looked like George Washington, one looked like batman,  and many more!  I took one with no sky but a little light it was awsome!  When we came back it was muck busier.  When we went back we just rushed.  The next Canyon’s name was rattlesnake canyon. It had lots of ladders.  I liked it!  It’s named that because of how twisty it is.  There really aren’t  any rattlesnakes in there but we did see a dead salamander.  It was directly under a ladder.  Then we went to baby rattlesnake canyon witch had a ton of cow pies( cow poop).  Then we got back in and went to owl canyon.   At the beginning there was a golf club which I picked up.  Then Nate told me it was to push rattlesnakes away.  A little ways up we saw 2 black and grey owls tucked away.  It took me the longest to find them.  Then just around the corner there was a white one in the wide open.  At the dead end there was a raven.  Then we went back.  Then we went back and went to the pool.  It was freezing.  Later we saw another pool which had a hot tub we ended up going but the hot tub was only 98.8 the heated pool was 98.7.  Then we took a shower and went to bed.
The next day I had 2 pancakes then got ready for 7 hours on lake Powell.  We got picked up in a jeep witch was towing a boat us kids sat in the boat.  It was a jet boat.  At first we drove around the main part of the lake then we went to a beach.  We stopped at the beach to play.  The sand vas very soft but every once in a while you would step on a burr (not very soft).  I made a sand base then threw sand balls at it to destroy it.  With the sand that was in where the base was I built up the base.  Once I got bored of that I got a snack then went back on the boat.  We drove around for about an hour and went into Navajo Canyon.  The rocks were colored different colors because of the high water marks.  The rocks on both sides were straight up walls. When we were going to lunch we saw a bunch   of houseboats.  They looked like luxurious houses on water with hot tubs on the tops and slides 5-10 feet off the water.  At lunch the chef came out and I gift a French dip.  It was juicy and delicious!  After lunch we had just gotten on the boat when it started raining.  We went back inside and waited out the storm.  Once the storm was over we went out went to another beach.  At that beach there were overhangs over the water made of sandstone.  There were a lot of skipping stones.  I really liked that because I like skipping!  My record of skipping there was 8.  I went up onto the stone and didn’t touch the sand so it looked like I was on unexplored land.  Once wee left weren’t into another canyon which they called Antelope Canyon (not the one we hiked in).  We saw 2 people on the edge of an overhang that was 10-20 feet high.  When we circled back one of them was getting out of the water. We guessed that he jumped.  On our way back I made up stories that Navajos were going to come out throwing spears at us and screaming “aye aye aye” which didn’t happen. :(.   When we got back we watched the NHL game Lightning vs Rangers the Lightning won.  Then we roasted marshmallows and went to bed.
