Dan and Ben's Float Trip on the Colorado River

We tried to float down the river last week, but the tubing company was closed. We finally decided floating might be less expensive if we take our own tubes and drive ourselves, so Dan and Ben took off on an adventure of their own. Matt, Mimi, and I dropped them off at Gateway Park near the Ocean-to-Ocean Highway and picked them up a mile down river about 40 minutes later. Matt rode his bike around a pond at our pickup site while Mimi walked. I sat under a pavilion drinking water... taking it easy is getting old.

Ben and Dan getting ready to go.

Ben comfortably fit into his inter tube. Dan... not so much!

Taking off from Gateway Park!

Dan tries to get comfortable on his inter tube.

Mimi and Matt take off for the playground only to find that the slides are already too hot at 10 in the morning.

Bye guys! Don't miss your stop or you might end up in Mexico...

Matt loves trains. One crossed the bridge. Yay!
