Recipe to try

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

This recipe looks and sounds

delicious.

I think the family would love it.

(Who am I kidding, me too.)

Found the recipe here

I think I will add cooked pasta

noodles to it as well.
(I did and would recommend it. I added about
2 cups, cooked small noodle pasta)

*Note: this was really good - will definitely
make it again, and again...
Everyone enjoyed it.!

More from the lake...

 Jetski rides through the canyons

 Cliff jumping - my least favorite thing,

but of course, the kids favorite.

 We did a lot of relaxing in this big raft. 

 in typical Poturalski fashion,

the raft almost floated away.

 Luke enjoyed fishing for catfish,

He's just like Grandpa Dave.

I think he caught 6!

 More jumping off the boat - yahoo!

 Lots of floating in rafts and drinking

our fine boxed wine - a sign of the times.

 more jumping.... I told you...

a favorite activity. (it is fun!)

Almost every afternoon,

a rain storm rolled in,

and we got some nice cooling rain.

This day, a rainbow appeared and

landed right in the middle of the Lake. 

What luck I say.

Now we know what is at the end

of a rainbow..... sorry,

no pot of gold....just a bunch

of crazy pot-uralski's!

Lake Powell - part two

 Our second day:

 Brian, Heidi,

and family planned a fun

"Survivor" theme day.

 We divided into two tribes,

painted our faces and chose tribe names.

 the "hot heads"

and "the pescados"

 Don't we look intimidating?

 the idle

we played crazy, fun games

and had tons of laughs.

Good times were had by all.
