Robert took some vacation time. He wanted to rent a boat & go out to Lake Mead & the Colorado River. So we did. The kids got to invite a few friends, Rex & Samantha. We had a blast until Robert headed into water that was too shallow & dinged up the rotor (which ended up costing us an additional $180.00) Can anyone say chaachiingg? I was glad that the kids got to go out on a boat. My parents owned a boat & we were always out water skiing & knee boarding.
After boating we headed up to Mt. Charleston to get out of the heat. Our friends, the Farrers ,own a summer home there & they graciously let us stay a few days (I have a picture of the gorgeous view from the bedroom window). We went hiking up to Cathedral rock & ended up right in the middle of a rainstorm. We took shelter & waited it out. When we reached the top, the view was absolutely breathtaking!(maybe even worth the hike) I was never happier to see the van than I was when we finally made it back down the mountain & it was raining & thundering even harder. That night we had the Nelson family up for a BBQ & played some games. It was so fun!
The next day, we went to a Ward activity at Warm Springs so the kids could swim & Robert taught a CPR class. I was crazy enough to go down the river of death but thanks to Yvonne, I lived to tell about it. Then, we headed back up to Mt. Charleston for a day of rest before Robert had to be back to work on Monday. Anyway, I think we now need a vacation from our stay-cation!
