Havasu 2008

After a long day at the cove and Taco Night at Brian and Jo's... they passed out on the way back to our place!

The cutest cheeks ever!

Alexa my fearless child!

She loves to drive the boat with Papa

Just being cute

The first boat ride of the trip.. we stopped off at a cove and played in the sand.... lots of fish came and papa started feeding them Pringles.

A Pretty Lighthouse

We ended off the summer with a Bang! Chris and I along with the girls and Chris' parents took a trip out to Lake Havasu from Thursday night to Sunday night. We had a really good time. The weather was great, the boat rides were fun and there were lots of firsts on the trip. It was Brielyn's 1st time at the Lake and Alexa rode on the tube for the 1st time. The trip up was a breeze thanks to the Hoff's for taking their motor home! My girls don't do well on long trips. Last time we drove to Havasu we ended up renting a Motel Room in Ludlow for a few hours....... Yeah, don't ask... it gets me nervous and tense thinking about that night. Definitely not somewhere you want to stop off and rent a motel (but our options were limited considering I was puked on and we still had 2 1/2 hours left to go and a screaming hallucinating child that wouldn't calm down!) . But, thanks to the motor home-this trip they slept peacefully almost the whole time.
