North America June 27th 2009

Day 2 Well, we were planning to go out on the boat and go to the gorge just past Needles, CA. However, the river level was too low. We went to the Avi Casino Resort for a great breakfast and decided that today would instead go to the Hoover Dam. After a long ride through some mountains and countryside we got to Boulder City and ran into lots of traffic. Then we saw the dam. Wow! We stopped at the visitor center and took a tour of the generators. They were more impressive in person than on the Discovery Channel. Then we drove back to Mohave Valley and went to the casino again for a great sea food buffet. There were more king crab legs than I have ever seen in one place. After that we ... read more

Day 1 We started today at 4:30. Thank you Oana for bringing us to the airport. After 14 hours we finally arrived at Doug and Lloyd's house in Mohave Valley. We landed in Phoenix and drove through Lake Havasau City and saw the famous London Bridge. After we got here we took a short boat ride with Bill and Carmen and Doug and Lloyd and of course Skypper. Cray and Skyper became fast friends and there was soon a competion to see who would wear out first. After thowing a ball in the river for Skypper to retrieve about a thousand times, the contest was still undetermined. We came back to the house and had a wonderful spaghetti dinner and Cray threw a ball for Skypper until Skypper finally gave up. Cray won round 1. We'll ... read more

On Saturday we brought the Wallaces on a short boat ride to have a picnic and maybe see some dolphins. We stopped at a quiet island on the Stono River. We thought the tide was almost all the way out. We were wrong. We dubbed the island Stuck Island after being stuck there for four and a half hours. This did provide both Colleen and Dorie some much needed forced relaxation. It also allowed the kids to explore and play in the mud. The clip is of Reed running from the river to the other side of the sand bar. ... read more
