Wednesday March 26th, 2008

After traveling almost 1200 miles in three days, we decided that today was just a day to have fun. I set up the outside grill so that Barb could cook the morning meal out side and not heat the coach up to much. Both Jessica and Christopher like helping Grandma cook breakfast.

The park here sits on the Colorado River with probably over 600 feet of frontage. Some of the RV's do park on the grass down there, but we opted for a spot that would be a little closer to all the facilities. If at all possible we try and use the shower and bathrooms at the park so that we don't fill the holding tanks so often. There are only two shower rooms at the pool, but in the dining multipurpose area there are about 6 shower rooms. We are parked about half way between the two facilities

The kids probably spent about 3 hours in the pool today, and Karen and Barb relaxed and slept while watching them with the occasional dip to keep cool. I spent some time trying to catch up on some of my pictures and computer work, and then joined them later in the PM at the pool.

After dinner, since we had watched American Idol on Tuesday night, we had to sit down and watch the results and see who was being eliminated this week. We watch the show on an East Coast feed so we are done watching it by 7 PM. Christopher and Jessica decided that we needed to have an Animal Idol contest for our Lions and Chipmunks.

Most of you are aware that I have a pride of about 10 lions that travel with me. Also since Christopher has a herd? of chipmunks that he brought with him, and Jessica has several animal's of her own, I think they wanted to see if theirs were better than Grandpa's. I posted several videos and pictures of the competition that you may want to take a look at when you get a chance.

In all it was a very relaxing day and time of recuperation.
