The Most Miserable Day of our Trip (We Hope!)

So on Tuesday, we didn't have any plans and we were thinking that it would be good to have some down time as our trip had been quite busy so far. The main issue was it was so hot and windy that the AC couldn't keep up, even after getting nice and cool overnight. We were miserable and early in the AM too! The sun came up at 5 and beat on the trailer, waking us up and heating us up way to early. It wasn't long before we were desperate for things to in cool places. We went to Walmart and shopped, we went to "the beach," at Lake Mead, a rocky, muddy, polluted place with no shade. It turned out to save us. The water felt very cold, but once you got in, it was wonderful. We just stood in the water up to our necks for hours watching the boys play. We took a brief nap in our hot trailer, and went back to soak in the lake again. When we got back from the lake, we found the awning thrown up over the trailer from the wind and two of the poles that held it up were broken. Yet more trailer stuff broken!! Now we have to find a place to get more poles before we can use our awning again!
The main thing that made the day so bad was that because we were all so hot and miserable, that we were all very short-tempered. It was not a pretty sight. We definately were not feeling the love!

Ratings for the Day:
Ann 3- Pretty miserable with the heat and the bickering, more stuff broke!
Marcus 3- Too dang hot!!
Derek 2- Time in the lake was good, family games were good, the rest was very very bad.
Colin 4- Lake was good, shopping was good, I got 2 new DS games!!

Our VIP scores are so low we are embarassed to share!! We tied for 23 out of 40 each, except for Derek who was a bit lower! We'll work on that!
