Havasu #2

We had so much out in Havasu that we decided that we would go back out for another week before we headed up to Washington. When I asked Brooke and Kyle if they wanted to go back out to the lake, Brooke answered, "can we go right now?" Now that's when you know as a parent that they really loved it. This time around though we didn't drop the cash to rent another boat for a week. One of Steve's friends was nice enough to let us borrow his boat. Also, before we went, I loaded up the kids and drug them out to the EZ Up factory out in Colton to buy an EZ Up. We were looking at the temps out there and it as going to be 115! EEKS! Can I just tell you that it was the best 100 dollars we ever spent!!

The kids were animals in the water this time. They were so used to it from the other week we were there. Kyle thought he was Michael Phelps without his life jacket on. He and Brooke both were swimming around in the channel with their faces in the water and everything. It was so great to see.



We decided one day to get out of the channel when we looked at the weather and saw that it was going to be 119. We went up river to Park Moabi. It is so nice up there now plus it was much cooler. The funny thing that happened was that once we left from up there it took us about an hour to get back to the channel. We hit the channel and ran out of gas. Couldn't have been a nicer place to run out. The kids and I hung out there and swam and steve headed out for some fuel. We ended up having a boat pull in next to us and they were firemen/firewomen and we hung out with them until 7pm. The kids were having a blast and the parents of the year didn't have dinner until 8:30. Gotta love the river! Brooke is ready for us to buy a boat and Steve continues to prod her telling her that we need to buy a boat. We'll see what happens there. I am vying to go back out but to stay in Park Moabi. Maybe sometime in August we will go.
