Middle Of Nowhere

Yesterday we went for  a ride up on the mountain and the girls were loving the freedom of being unbelted and having the windows down as we traveled along remote roadways. I think, in total, we did encounter maybe five or six other vehicles. :) Love it!!!

We did encounter a bit of wildlife although most of the animals we saw were cattle. They may be hard to spot in this picture but there are a couple elk at the edge of the trees, almost in the center of the picture. The girls were so excited! Their squeals sent the elk scurrying in a hurry.

There are some geese flying just above the water surface and the girls are simply entranced by "the big birds" over there. :) We stopped for a potty break near the fish cleaning station...just after seeing a couple deer near the campground, and they were so excited about the area.

Mia wasn't too thrilled at sharing "her" big rock with older sister TJei. After all, she found one without snakes. :)

TJei decided to pull out a map...she learned that on Dora the Explorer...to figure out where we were on the mountain. After a good deal of chatter to get herself oriented, "Here's the cows in the road" and "There's the boat in the water" she proudly declared, "Grandpa, we're in the middle of nowhere!"'

Seriously, this girl is so cute. And, that's a map of Lake Powell she's checking out. :)
