Memorial Weekend

This past weekend we went to Lake Mohave, AZ for Memorial. We went with Clint's family and had such a GREAT time!

On Saturday: We got up, went to Walmart to get food for out on the boat and went boating ALL DAY LONG! The temperature was in the 100's, but it still made for a nice time in the water. The kids (Clint included) had fun on the beach, building sand castles and playing a little water football.

On Sunday: It is me and Clint's rule of thumb that it isn't a good idea to go boating on Sunday, so we hung out around the hotel the entire day and went swimming in the AWESOME pool there. The pool had a river front view and was so peaceful and relaxing! We had a great time showing off tricks, floating on/in the water and having a few races.

On Monday: We went boating ALL DAY! This day was the BEST day for boating since EVERYONE had headed home to get back to reality...thank goodness we decided to stay an extra day! We found the BEST beach and set up a volleyball net and had an awesome game of volleyball. We floated on the tubes and just enjoyed every one's company!

On Tuesday: This is the day we were leaving, so we got up first thing and went swimming for a bit, then got ready, cleaned our rooms and packed everything up. We first decided to get some gas and some lunch...then we were on the road. Or....at least that is what we THOUGHT!!! Clint had a tire on his boat trailer smoke up and so we pulled over before getting on the freeway. Apparently the ?bearing? was missing some *IMPORTANT* parts and so it was something that HAD to be fixed. There we were, sitting in the 100+ heat, with all the kids...broke down, bummer! HOWEVER, me and my BRIGHT ideas decided to call our hotel to see if they would let us come back and swim while the guys took care of *business*, he he. And...they let us, yay! So, while the guys worked on the tire, the girls and kids went swimming again. *THREE HOURS* later, we were back on the road and headed for home.....or so we thought, AGAIN! We got blew a tire on the other side of the trailer after 20 minutes on the freeway, bummer...again! Luckily, Clint had brought a spare tire, so it wasn't too bad of a fix. It really was too bad that we ran into problems, because we didn't make it home until 4:00 AM Wednesday Morning....ROUGH!

Overall though, our trip was AMAZING and I cannot WAIT to go back!!!!
