Havasupai Part 4

Thursday, June 3, 2010

Our last full day in Havasupai!  It was a nice relaxing day, soaking up the SUNSHINE (HOT sunshine) and lounging in the water! I don't have many pictures of this day because we were all running low on our camera batteries.
We spent much of the day at Havasu Falls.
The highlights-- The boys and Meshell cliff jumping, frisbee, relaxing on the floatie toys in the pools, Luke popping the whale and then "training it", Hiking to the old gold mine and of course, more relaxing in the water
Blake and Luke climbing behind Havasu Falls-- then jumping through
Climbing up to the second Gold Mine
Inside the mine. I was trying to blow a bubble for the picture. I didn't work. 
We also went back to Mooney Falls that evening. Like I said before... my favorite! It is so majestic!  Look how tiny Luke and I are next to it!
Highlights:
Swimming up along the cliff walls and finding a cool tiny cave
 Luke and Blake trying to get up behind the waterfall.... wasn't REALLY successful since the water drops over 200 feet.....Watching all of the floaty toys being sent over the waterfall, and the sacrificial killing of some of the floaty toys--the rest we gave to some random teenagers camped near us.
Did I mention how well we ate on this trip? Even though it was backpacking food it was delicious! Mountain House freeze dried meals were awesome!  But next time, we'll pack some "colder" foods. When it's over 100 degrees out, you just don't feel like hot stew or lasagna.  Either way, we ate well and have great memories of sitting around during meal time with our awesome friends!
And a perfect location for kissing the one you love. Wait a minute! Laura's lover was the strong silent type. 
Meshell had better luck with the frog.
