Day 3-Adrift and Davis Gulch

Monday morning we woke up adrift.  The house boat had come untied and we were floating in the middle of our canyon.  The boys quickly jumped on the boat and jetskiis to prevent them from getting smashed into the rocks.  It was a very crazy morning trying to get re-anchored and we almost lost my little Allie in the process. So thankful for the protection over her this morning.  


Wee hours of the early morning as people woke up realized we were adrift; the boys got right to work


Once we were back into shape with the house boat we took off to go on another hike up Davis Gulch.  Blake carrying Allie across the deep water


Sophie had found her own snake for the hike.  She loves her snake her cousin Adam gave her


Such awesome scenery


A crawdad that was found along the way


Sophie so happy to be out of her pack


The fam


The kids had a great time along the way finding tad-a-poles, frogs, lizardss


The girls 


Don't know how this happened, but I had to take a picture of Sophie sucking a bink


The boys trying hard to pull the boat in during the wind storm


We spent the afternoon inside doing indoor activities since it was so windy.... painting nails


Play dough creation's...a cinnamon roll


The kids having a great time with the play dough


Some of the older generations masterpieces....a self portrait from Papa and Cory with his crown



The boys wanted to make sure we were anchored well so we wouldn't wake up in the morning and run into the same problem


Tough Boys



We had a family meeting at night to discuss "worst case" as Blake always puts it.  Worst case was the boat getting blown over in the wind storm.  We created a disaster plan of what to do.  Needless to stay, I slept with life jackets at my side that night.
