Good Bye FAMILY and Lake Powell... We will miss you!

Day 3 of Lake Powell in the morning was not too bad, but by afternoon it was down right wet, rainy, and windy! So grateful we left a day earlier this past week. We did try to go out in the morning but the wind and waves were so choppy that it was doing a number on my migraine and lung pain. The inflammation really caught up with me today. My breathing was really difficult and the pain was so unbearable I tired to lay on the back of the boat so no one could see me. But my family picked it up so fast and they knew I wasn't going to say anything. But I guess the tears rolling down my cheeks were a dead giveaway. I tried to tell them it was just water that had splashed up on my face, they laughed and didn't believe me for a second. I told them to just continue on and I would be fine! But they said they were done and ready to go back anyway…. I know they weren't done but wanted me to not suffer any more.

I learned something today….that thinking of others beside yourself is what family is all about. Its not about thinking about what you want to do or what you don't get to do. But its really about thinking of others before yourself. Whether it be not wanting to ruin anyones fun or being done with having fun so someone can feel better! Although I did not want to go back from having fun, I knew it was the right thing to do for both my health and to allow my family the opportunity to think of others before themselves today!

Although we did not play as much as we wanted to in the boat we found other fun things to do back in the motorhome. We played games, went to dinner, and then made homemade music videos with everyone of us. We laughed so hard as we made this video. What a fun last night on our trip together!
