The Dam Stop

Thursday was the day for our tour of the Hoover Dam. The kids got a kick out of saying things like, "I need to use the dam bathroom," and "Do I really need to wear this dam hat?!" We got to the dam and took a tour that led us down into the dam where we could look out about 2/3 of the way down out of a vent, we got to see the generators, we walked around on top of the dam and up into a lookout with a great view of the dam. We learned a lot about the dam and had a good time. We spent most of the morning there and then went back to the trailer for lunch and another hot nap. Then we went back to the water hole to stand in the lake. It was VERY windy and still pretty hot.

Ratings for the day:
Ann 7- I enjoyed the dam tour, but the heat in this place is just too much and then when you add the wind!!
Marcus 7- To dam hot!
Derek 7- I liked it.
Colin 3- The tour guide wasn't very good!
