Day 2- Swimming and Indian Ruins

Sunday we had a great day; a lot of relaxing and a little bit of hiking.


The girls rafted around in the morning

We brought a little blow up pool for Sophie to put up on top of the boat.  Sophie LOVES the water and LOVES splashing.

 I was surprised to find this little fish swimming in the water



Allie, Lil, and Cam worked for hours building their own rendition of Lake Powell in the sand

Hanging out in the water with daddy.  The lake water was cooler than in years past, but the weather was perfect so the water felt great after your body was finally submerged in



Sunday evening we headed over to the Indian Ruins.  We seem to hike these every year we come



You can't tell from the picture but there is just a little trail up the side of the mountain to the top.



Kind of freaky for me this year.  I was nervous that Allie didn't quite understand that if she stepped to far in one direction she would go plummeting into the water.  I hung onto the strap of her life vest for extra comfort


Pictures from the boat of everyone hiking up.  I can't believe the Indians really enjoyed living up on the cliffs and the trek it would take them to get home

Sophie wasn't enjoying her ride inside the life vest.  We had forgotten the backpack back on the house boat.



Everyone coming back down.... sliding forward down the mountain

Love this picture of Blake smiling at Soph



Sophie eventually learned it wasn't going to get her anything to scream in her life vest



A few things that were collected throughout the day-a baby frog



Love this pic of the kids checking out the frog inside the bin
