Havasu Day 1

HOT, HOT, HOT


No not us, the weather! Ok we're pretty hot too! Ha!
The adventure begins today.
Going to Havasu and getting the river experience
was a little out of our comfort zone.
Not for long though. We adapted to river life real quick!
Ryan's favorite thing to do was to make "dip" stops.
We'd constantly stop the boat and we'd all take a dip.
Jumping off the side of the boat into the nice cool water was heavenly



Even Mommy got into it!

Soon enough, the innertube started calling Jordyn's name.
I was so nervous for her but I forget what a dare devil she is.
She did fall off once but she swam straight back
to the innertube to get back on!

Holding the flag was more Ryan's speed!

To add to our adventure, we ran into a monsoon.
The wind was so strong that we were bouncing around like crazy.
We were pretty far away so we decided to wait it out.
After 45 minutes or so, Craig says, "What if we just put the
pedal to the metal?" So we get back on the boat and did just that.
Funny thing was that Scott (our neighbor) decides to let Craig take
over for awhile! Yikes! Right in the middle of a storm???
Luckily everything went fine!
(It was his first time driving a boat!)
Notice Jordyn! She was so wiped out that she fell asleep
just like that as she was tucking her head in her life jacket
to protect her face from the wind and splashing water!
Too funny!

By the time we got back, took showers and went to dinner, I started feeling
like I was still on the boat. Turned out to be an early night for me.
Just a little sea sick! :(
Loved day 1 though.
What a great new experience for us!
