Alexi's second desso trip

In what is now appearing to be an annual trip, Alexi floated his second Desolation Canyon River Trip. Wiffy absent due to necessity of her job, I too the opportunity to join my friends and fellow river rats for some r and r on the river. It was hot. Lots of fun was had squirting the other boat with water.

River monsters were always lurking in the water.

"Arg-arg-arr, where's my little children to eat!"

These were scary creatures to avoid.

Screaming, giggling, and poking-out-the-tongue was the best defense.

Then there were serene quite moments.
Andi relaxing with daughter Tallia at the oars.

But-tired babes sleeping, left time to admire bold beautiful buttes.

Barry and Lisa enjoy the same quite time with their bundle of joy Mia swaddled on the main deck.

But Alexi was not much of a sleeper. He was always jumping on the oars. Even when he was not supposed too. "Look Ma, no adults!" as he works the boat away from the shore.

But how can you get mad a such a cute little bug?

Little charmer did his best practice marriage dance, as he ran around the girls 10 times, sometimes running forward and sometimes prancing sideways.

Was Tallia not too sure of this display?

Mia might have been pleased.

Did Alexi's charms do their work?

"Wew, girls are hard work!" as he warms my stout to an appropriately drinkable temp.

Mia had her own way of cooling off by eating big habanero-looking peppers.

Tallia likes it hot too, buy playing with the sizzling sparklers.

Hot fun requires hamburger cooldown. And perhaps a Chocky Milk or two.

Some times other types of hot would happen as occasionally there was not enough oars to go around.

So while the girls were getting some cool down spa time......

.....Alexi would be manning the oars.

"Wew, this oaring is hard work"

See you on the river next year!
