Mikkele had a good time getting to know cousins that she didn't know she had. One of Jeremy's aunt's has 9 kids ranging from 18 years old-18 months old. So they had a kid for just about everyone to play with. They had a great time and it was fun to see the kids interact so well. Lots of creative minds in that bunch, so there was never a dull moment.
We went down to the Glen Canyon Dam. This is the dam that holds up Lake Powell and drains in to the Colorado River. We've been there a million times, but it's tradition to go down there when we are in Page. The waterfall in the picture with Mikkele is actually rain runoff. It rained all night Saturday night and most of the day Sunday. It kind of dampened any plans for swimming. The picture with Jeremy is kinda funny. We're still wondering what his Dam IQ is.
On the way home from Page we stopped at Moqui Cave. It is a naturally made cave a few miles outside of Kanab, UT. Jan, Dave, and Connor ended up stopping there also so we got some pictures with Mikkele and Connor.
Inside this teepe was the biggest cave area. It had a bunch of glow in the dark rocks. Kinda hard to get a picture in the dark, but you get the picture.
Mikkele has been OBCESSED with rocks for as long as I can remember. I am constantly finding rocks in the washing machine, around the house, in her back pack, in the car, etc. While we were in Page she found lots of rocks that were "cool, pretty, or awesome" that she thought she needed to bring home with us. I was nice enough to let her bring home one cup full. She also picked out some at the Moqui cave that she thought were cool. Connor and Dillon got in on the fun also. You can see Connor scaveging for some outside our hotel room in the picture below.
Overall we had a good trip. We wish the weather would have been better, but I guess it's a Gallier trait to bring bad weather with you on trips.

Rock scavengers must run in the family. I have the same problem with Connor.
Maybe it's an 8-year-old thing. Alex and Isabel are NUTS for rocks and I'm always finding them in the washer! haha
Cool trip!
