So far our plan to rent a boat hasn't worked real well. We tried yesterday (Friday) afternoon to no avail. Seems you have to be at the rental office at 7:00 AM particularly weekends or Fridays! - well we aren't real good at being anywhere at 7:00 AM these days! So we are rethinking that plan - do we extend our stay here again .... so we can play ON the lake? We shall see . Above is a picture of the marina we thought we'd rent the boat at.Anyway, we have spent some time over the last couple days there so Sir Arlo can have some water play time. Aren't the colors of the lake and the mountains gorgeous in the picture below? The red of the rocks and the blue of the water ..... WOWIE CAZOWIE (as we taught Connor, along with Holy Macaroni and Holy Mackeral)
Below is a video (I hope!!) of Arlo playing - well he started playing and chasing the ball (we call the ball Wilson and yes Wilson needs to be replaced). There was some sort of fly that had been harassing Arlo on the shore area and apparently followed him out to retrieve Wilson, well very early into this video Arlo became far more interested in the BUG than in Wilson. It is pretty funny to watch - I just am not sure that it uploaded as a video (I am still learning this blog thing after all!)
After the beach we went by the park just up the road. We had been here a few times in hopes of seeing the mountain sheep that come down from the mountains. Well we finally saw them. I thought there would be a couple - I had no idea there would be a couple dozen! They were really neat to watch... very docile (in spite of the warning) they seemed to care much more about the grass than about the people in the area. And as we learned during the helicopter tour this is their mating season so it would have seemed they'd have been somewhat agressive - we sure didn't see that.
They were pretty interesting to watch. Arlo watched from the car and seemed to show some interest in them but he didn't want to get out and investigate - rather that wasn't an option that was offered him!!
I did get a nice picture of them with the lake behind but as I've said before I can only upload five pictures per blog post.... maybe I'll put a couple on the picasa site under a May, 2008 album. We'll see!
