Day trip 3/8: Bringing down the family

3rd August 2015
A date was set!
Finally my brother and his beautiful family were able to come for a day trip to see our land purchase. They had seen photos and the oldest 2 children were super excited everytime we talked!

The day started at 6am when they arrived out the front of our house. We set off after some short conversation but chatted the whole way down via CB radio.

It was a cool August morning and the 2 youngest children, Twins Brock and Torey were recovering from recent colds.

No issues with access although found a soft spot along the path Chris chose. Phil had a 2wd vehicle which we left at the top.

We wondered around the property following the creek. Latisha wanted to catch a sheep so took off chasing them! Dayton followed and soon they were out of site! The rest of us made our way to the waterfall slowly.
Somehow Dayton and Latisha worked their way around us and met us head on.
They spent time exploring and taking pictures.

We made lunch off the tailgate of the Colorado and let the twins crawl around on their mat. Ham, pickles and tomato rolls.
A cold wind was blowing from the North to the south and dark clouds soon started arriving.
We packed up and headed out back to the cars. Dayton and I walked while everyone else rode in the Colorado. We took a detour to the dam wall and looked across the wntirety of the dam. It was 56% full but an astonishing amount of water.

Very long day, we arrived home at 9:30pm.
