family vacation

I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures from our family vacation. We make quite a group. Of course we went to the Colorado River. It has actually been three years since I've been there though. Last year we didn't have a family vacation and the year before I couldn't go because I had used all my vacation being on maternity leave. This year we traveled with my parents in the RV. It was quite a long drive (over 5 hours) with only one stop, but Bodhi did really great and everyone took turns entertaining him.



We had great weather this time, in the low 100s. I know that doesn't sound great but it's usually 115 or so when we've been there in the past. And of course you spend most of your day in and out of the river to keep cool.




It was really cute to see Bodhi enjoying playing in the water and getting to spend so much time with his cousins. We would spend the mornings down by the river and spend the afternoons at the pool that was at the campsite. They don't normally have it open during the week, but since we were practically the only ones at the campsite, my Dad asked if they would open it up for us, which they did and it was so nice.



Of course we had to make a trip to the store on the campsite to get popsicles and then another day went for a short boat ride to get some pizza and play some video games. It was so great to have a relaxing vacation. We all had such a nice time. All the kids were sad when it was time to pack up to go home. And I don't blame them, I wanted to stay too!
