Colorado River Float
Day 15 - Sunday
The girls just want to go to that less than stellar pool, so I promised them that after we did laundry (again) we'd do it. I found a People magazine that was only two weeks old!! I'm so jazzed to have something new to read at the pool!! The girls met a new friend. He's a 45 year old man with a long beard, who's here for the Red Rocks music festival. He and his "lady friend" follow a band called moe. With their free afternoon, they were going on a rafting trip down the Colorado river. Since the girls are tired of hiking, I signed us up too, all while Jason was embarking on a "must do" bicycle ride called Porcupine Rim. When we finally met up with Jason he looked worse that I've seen him after an adventure. He said, "It was hard. It was hot. I need water." I felt bad that he had no down time, because we immediately went to the rafting place.
Alice decided that she would be brave with Jason and went down some small rapids outside the boat. Her bum started touching rocks and that was it, she started crying and wanted in the boat. It was too late though, the raft had made it through already. From that point forward if anyone mentioned "shallow", Alice was in the boat. I have no photos of rafting, because we're already down one camera and we didn't want to lose another one.
After dinner, I backed into a small tree and picnic table with the RV. Everything appears fine, but it caused some tension. On the plus, there are no mosquitos because it is so hot.
