Floating the Colorado River

Here we are at the bottom of Glen Canyon Dam, to get down there we had got to take a bus through a man made tunnell through the walls of this rock. Very cool because there is no public access to this road. Since 9/11 this dam has been under high security.

What a fun trip. The kids loved it and it took 5 hours where we started from the dam and our trip ended at the very beginning of the Grand Canyon. Halen liked chasing the lizards when we stopped for lunch and to see the petroglyphs. The kids liked playing in the river except that it was absolutely freezing, I think our guide said that it was 40 something degrees. I got a mini geology tour on this trip which was fun since I happen to be right in the middle of geology class.

This trip has been so much fun, my mom and I have gotten many stares with 7 kids trailing behind us. Tommorrow I will try and post more because we are going to the Grand Canyon!
