Canyon Lake



Awesome day at Canyon Lake which is northeast of us in the Superstition Mountains. To get there you take a windy road full of shear dropoffs and no guard rails and at the bottom are lots of huge rocks (cringe here). We did this in a van towing a boat. (cringe more now). Glenn and Alicia and his parents bought a pontoon boat and we spent the day at the lake. The kids had never really been on a boat that I can remember so this was great to put them out of their element in a really great way.

Annika had no problem jumping with with Glenn. Trevor was a bit more hesitant. I had to go in. I had no real intention of swimming today, but Trevor had to go in and I had to take him - no one else. The water in the morning was not warm. Kids dont care about that, they just have fun.


Trevor Gets to Steer - WATCH OUT!!! (Trevor and Glenn's Dad).

We swam, toured around the canyons in the boat. Saw some herons and hawks, but not much else (last time my friends were there, they saw big horn sheep - no such luck today). Annika and Trevor made sure to sit up front when we went over the wakes - lots of splashing.

More pics here (if the link doesnt work - let me know and I will email it to you)

What wonderful pictures! Making me smile just looking at them! Looks like it was a great day. I think when I was in AZ, we took my friend Lorraine to this general area - but not at water level. I think I have a picture at one of the overlooks. In any case, I'm glad you had such a lovely day. Thanks for sharing it.

I Love You

I am so very very jealous. Thank you for making my dull day at work seem even more intolerable. I'm glad you are all having so much fun. :)
