Havasu Trip - part 2


 On Tuesday we ventured through the lake and onto the Colorado River.  Two of the other families with us rented a boat for a day, so it was nice to have a large group spend the day together on the water!  This picture is of Faith and Cambria on our boat as we headed into Topak Gorge on the river.

One of our favorite things to do is to find a beach along the river.  On this trip we packed picnic lunches and really had a fun time on our own special beach!  Shane spent most of his time in the water, and had lots of fun squirting everyone else with a squirt gun!

The girls had fun building sand castles.  By the end of our time at the beach, the grand castle even had a moat!  They were quite thrilled with themselves!

The kids love helping Steve drive the boat!

One of the nights we went to a favorite restaurant, the Golden Horseshoe.  It is kind of a western place where you can throw your peanut shells on the floor!  We try to go here each trip we take to the lake!  The Jernigans and Browers joined our family.

Here are all the kids outside of the Golden Horseshoe

Wednesday night we had a pizza party picnic with the Taylors so that we could all go for a night swim!  This too will be something we do each time!

Pictures from our final family boat ride of the trip!  Both kids did the EZ ski again!  We made it back to the resort, and Steve was able to get the boat out of the water just before an unexpected monsoon sprang up!  As always, we are already looking forward to our next trip!
