Day Three!


I made egg, ham, and cheese burritos for breakfast! Everyone slept great last night. We were exhausted. We're all showered and ready for the road.
Goodbye KOA!
We stopped at a big SUPER Walmart for supplies and then went to the Route 66 Visitor Center called the Powerhouse. It was very cool. Lots of stuff about the area and about the Great Depression. I got a metal sign for the house. The boys checked out the railroad near the parking lot. They wanted to see if they could hear a train coming. 

They tried to ride Tom and Jake out on a rail!
A guy working at the gift shop said that we should check out Hualapai Mountain and we went straight there. It's pretty. Lots of trees and trails. We're staying the night!
Heading out on the trail.
It was a little tough getting a spot. I don't think it's made for campers. :)) A guy camping there pointed us to the perfect spot for us and we love it. The boys went off to a nearby playground and radio us that there were deer there.


We went on a long walk down another part of the campground and Jake spotted an Elk and her fawn! And a big snake on a rock. We took lots of pictures and then started to make our way back to the campground. When we looked back the Elk was still there! It looked like they were following us. We didn't see anymore animals.

Snake on the rocks!

After dinner we went on another shorter walk and Tom was being obnoxious. Then we sat around and ate ice cream. And I made them play Yahtzee with me.
