Pool Party!!

We had a blast playing in Aunt Mabel's pool. Elias swimming with his Dad, he's a little fish.

Cousin Maddie May from New York enjoying the water and the desert sun.

It was so much fun seeing everyone in St.George...keep us posted on happenings in Angola and New York!!

Camping at the Lake.

Pauly and Tippy invited us to spend the night boating at Strawberry. It was the second night sleeping out this year for Elias and he was a champ. I hope he is always that good when we camp. We had such a blast, thanks for the great trip guys. It was fun to have the whole Newty Clan in the boat.

Elias is ready to go boating in his first (but not last) PFD!

Our beautiful camp at the lake.

Hot Summer Days!!!

This summer in Grand Canyon has for the most part been mild, but the last two weeks have been scorchers. We de-rigged last week on lake Mead in 121 degrees!

The rains have been off and on, but the river has finally turned muddy. Here is a shot of a dry fall I have always wanted to see flash, and last week when we left Havasu the heavens opened up and everything started to flash.

I can't believe how fast the summer is going by. I only have 2 trips left.

Sunset in the Upper Granite Gorge!
