Two days in Page

As we drove into Page it was all dark.  I felt half asleep.  We were watching some TV.  When we got there we put on pajamas and went to bed.  In the morning we could see everything.  There was a lot of beautiful things!  I also saw a prickly pear cactus and a jackrabbit.  It was really big!  I thought it was a cottontail rabbit, but I knew it was different because it didn’t have a fluffy tail and it had longer legs.  We were getting ready to go on a slot canyon tour.  I couldn’t wait!  We were kind of rushing to get there but when we got there there was a time change so instead of being almost late we were an hour early.  That gave us lots of time to get ready.  There were lots of other people there but we got split into groups and our family was in one group with no one else in it except the tour guide.  We took lots of pictures.  Sometimes it was hard to take pictures because there were so many people in one of the slot canyons.  In the second slot canyon there were lots of ladders and nobody else was in there except our family so we could take lots of pictures easily.  It was called Rattlesnake Canyon but we didn’t see any snakes. 🙂  The third canyon was called Owl Canyon and we actually saw 3 owls.  One was a baby owl.  It was really cute!  Right after the tour ended and we were in the RV it started pouring down rain.  We had lucky timing!  From the tour we went to the RV park and went to the hotel that was right near it.  We were in the RV park so they gave us a key to get into the pool.  When we were in the pool it was freezing cold!  I was so cold I wanted to get out immediately.  The first thing I did to keep me warm was I got out of the pool for a minute then jumped in and it was warmer but I knew that wouldn’t last so I swam back and forth down the pool.  Then I started doing things like handstands and pushing off the wall and trying to swim without using some of my body parts.  On our second day in Page, AZ we went on a boat ride.  On our way to the lake we go to ride in the boat when they were pulling by the jeep from our campsite.  When we got to the ramp it was really big!  When we were going down the ramp they pulled the Jeep part way into the water.  I thought that was going to wreck the car, but it didn’t.  Then the boat got unhooked and Mark drove the Jeep back up to the parking lot.  We were on the boat and having a little bit of trouble keeping it in place.  Then when Mark got there we were off.  At first we were going slow and then we went fast.  We were boating for a little while then we went to a small beach.  We ate some snacks and played in the sand for a little while.  The sand felt really soft – it was awesome!  If you tried to go in the water there was a huge drop off and it was super duper cold.  Eventually I got in.  It took me a minute to really start swimming because it was so cold.  Then I swam across to a little island and back.  Luckily I had an extra life jacket so I didn’t have to wear a freezing cold life jacket while I was on the boat.  After that we headed to lunch.  It was really good.  With some of our leftovers we got feed the carp that were outside the restaurant.  When we were about to leave, it started raining so we went back in for a few minutes.  When it stopped raining we left – we had to wipe off the seats so they weren’t all wet.  As we were leaving the restaurant we saw some REALLY BIG house boats that all had slides off of them – some even had two!  We stopped at another beach for a few minutes and played.  We reapplied sunscreen while we were playing on the beach.  Then we left and headed back to the ramp.  When we were getting the boat out, Mark would make the boat go fast to get it on the trailer.  Then we left and headed back to the RV.
