Fresh Beach

Posted on April 15th, 2008 by Jean

The opposite of Burro Poop Beach would have to be Fresh Beach.
 
I love these satellite images from google maps!
 

 
Before making our way to the fresher beach on Day 3, Tom had to do a bit of work. Part of Tom’s job is to take photos of houses for our clients’ ads in our real estate magazine. That morning, we had gotten a call about a riverfront house for sale. So our first stop after launching was down river a bit.
 

 
Isn’t that pretty? I’m sure it has a pretty price tag too!
 
Once we arrived at the beach, the kids built more sandcastles.
 

 
Tom even got into it. He likes to build the moats.
 

 
Here Joy puts sunscreen on Cimber’s back. Kind of looks like he’s doing a dance, huh?
 

 
After a few hours, we ran out of liquid beverages, so we scooted down river to Lazy Harry’s for lunch.
 

 
I put a couple of photos together so you can see our view.
 

 
Lunch was delicious!
 
After lunch, we made it back to our house, quickly showered & dressed just minutes before our babysitter arrived. We took our guests to the comedy show at The River Palms Casino in Laughlin.
 

 
It was a good deal, $14.95 per person. The comedians were pretty good. Not rip-roaring funny.
 
That concludes Day 3.

Boating on the Colorado River

Posted on April 13th, 2008 by Jean

Day 2 of my friends’ visit, we went boating. We found a great little beach in the Topock Gorge area which we dubbed Burro Poop Beach.
 

 
But Jean, why would you name it Burro Poop Beach?
Because of all the burro poop, that’s why!
 

 
Here my friend, Joy, swats at all the poop. I had to act fast ‘cuz she was really going to town!
 

 
The kids donned their Swim 1-2-3 suits and Natalie did a bit of wading.
 
Pearl found the water to be too cold, so she sat onshore and guzzled Gatorade.
 

 
Tom and Cimber watched the Lake Havasu Jet Boat Tour scream by.
 

 
I enjoyed beachtime with the kiddos.
 

 
The wee ones made sandcastles.
 

 
After a few hours, we jumped back into the boat and headed upstream.
 

 
Before taking the boat out of the water, we had lunch at the Topock Marina.
 

(Not my photos.)
 
That concluded Day 2.
