Mothers Day fun

 My mothers day request was to go down Salt River.  I love mothers day because my kids will do whatever I want without complaining.  So not only do I choose something fun for me, I choose something that I know normally my kids would complain about just for fun

 Kids skipping rocks, when we showed up at the river we thought wow its kind of not crowded, and really low.  Little did we know they fill up the lakes first then let the river run.  we were a week early.  the river was so slow and low.

 We had to get out numerous times to walk our tubes to a deeper spot.

 There were a few rapids, but the rocks were so shallow that we had to either get out or lift our butts real high.

 We started at 1:00 for a 2 1/2 hour ride......

 On thing about being a week early for the season, was there was no one else tubing , we were the only ones.  Well there was one guy.  It was so quiet and peaceful,  there were no annoying college students smoking, drinking and throwing marshmallows.   We were lucky enough to see 13 wild horses.  They were so beautiful.

 Notice the sun in the sky, our 2 1/2 hour ride turned into a 6 1/2 hour ride.  I loved it, it got a little old after a while, but it was a great day with my family. The sun was starting to set so I ended up pulling the hole family quite a ways down the river because I had the best shoes.  Kevin finally offered to pull us because it was mothers day.
