couples trip 2013

do you think think that's it's possible to ever get sick of lake powell?

we don't!!!

so that's why we headed back to LP with our friends for this summer's couples trip.

we weren't sure if we could top last year's trip, but somehow we managed it.

the one thing that was different about this trip was the amount of girl/boy time.

this year the girls did their own thing (taking the little boat out/dance parties/laying out),

while the boys did their thing (wave hunting/mario kart/playing with the football for hours).

i guess that's what happens when we aren't all newlyweds anymore 

and being with your significant other in a swimsuit isn't that exciting anymore.

and ok ok, even though hanging out with the girls was the best part of the trip,

i did manage to force dawson into taking his share of pictures.

it's not my fault that i like pictures of my favorite person in one of our favorite places?

i'm pretty sure i reached dawson's picture quota for the year, 

so if the rest of my pictures this year are of just me you know why.

i feel pretty confident in saying that we have the best group of friends.

i owe dawson a lot for having such a great group of friends for all these years,

and i owe his friends a lot for marrying girls that i love and get along with so well.

the fact that us girls could sit on top of the houseboat and talk for hours about every topic imaginable

while the boys played mario kart and probably talked about high school the whole time, is pretty impressive.

what's more impressive is that after laughing/joking the whole trip and a VERY intense game of girls vs boys charades 

(where spouses may have been wanting to kill each other),

we were able to take a page out of our parent's books and play the "what i like about ___" game.

(you go around in a circle and everyone has to take a turn saying what they like about each person).

it was VERY sentimental and made us all love each other even more.

and it was probably the only thing that could have saved all us couples from divorce after that game.

bottom line is we love our friends and LP 2013 was amazing!!!

cheers to another great summer vacay!
