Rafting!

If I were to ask Nicolas to describe the perfect vacation, there would be lots of altitude in the response and not a whole lot of, say, floating along a quiet river and socializing. But that's exactly what we spent last weekend doing with two other families and it was a blast.

Kicked-up silt made the San Juan river soupy

I wonder if the artists were arrested for vandalism...

Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings (600-1300AD) along the river

Sunset at our campsite (Jen in the boat gathering ingredients for a delicious dinner).
Notice the piglets in the mud trough in the background...

Annelise and Acacia greeting the day on the paddle board

Nicolas floating in a vat of cafe au lait

Leland and Cayenne enjoying the peace (away from their sisters!)

Seven Little Pigs

A family of bighorn sheep, some of many we saw along the way

Gregg, the Pied Piper, making the kids laugh after a freak thunderous storm sketched them out

Best time of day!

Annelise and Acacia piloting as Cayenne sits on the front, directing traffic

We saw loads of beautiful wildlife. This Blue Heron followed us for a while...

Lunchtimes weren't lunchtimes without a jumping rock!

Much easier travelling against the current when Dad's pulling you!

We're in Namibia! Check out the Herero woman watching over us.

The locals call it Mexican Hat, but really, it's a Herero woman.

The end of a very fun long weekend. Mexican food on the way home
was the perfect final touch!
