When I finished my last blog update back in May, we were leaving the Grand Canyon heading to Vegas to go kayaking. We had a GREAT time kayaking. It was so much fun and I highly recommend the tour group we used to go on the tour with. I have never been to the Hoover Dam either so seeing that was amazing as well. Keep in mind as you read this post, it may be November now, but we actually took this trip over Memorial Day back in May.
The picture above is the new bridge they are building to take you over the Hoover Dam instead of through it. It's supposed to cut down on the time it takes to get from the Arizona side to the Nevada side. I'm glad I was able to drive through the old way before they opened this bridge. Since these pictures were taken 6 months ago, I think this bridge is now open!
This is a cave we got to go hike in. It was extremely hot in there. We all had to carry flashlights because it was very dark as we continued back. The pictures we took in the back of the cave didn't come out since the camera kept fogging up.
We saw some amazingly beautiful sites on this tour. The rocks, the water, it was all totally awesome!
The day we picked to go kayaking was the most perfect day ever. The weather was perfect and we didn't have any wind.
The water was like glass! Thank goodness because we had to kayak 16 miles from start to finish, so if we would have had a lot of wind, it would have made the trip a little tougher than we wanted it to be!
This is the emerald cave. It's in commercials, and print ads and was one of the coolest parts of the tour. There is something about where the cave is positioned, and the position of the sun, it makes the water green!
So so so beautiful!
This is definitely a bridge I wouldn't want to walk on! Our guide said this bridge was built back when the Hoover Dam was being built and this is how the workers got from one point to the other......no thank you!
Lance had the camera almost the whole 16 miles so when I finally was able to steal it from him I took a picture of him! 
There he goes leaving me in the dust. I think it was pay back for paddling ahead of him the whole time. You sure do paddle a lot faster when you don't have a camera in your hands! :)We had a great experience kayaking on the Colorado. This sure was an awesome first anniversary. Between the Grand Canyon and kayaking the Colorado, I couldn't have asked for a better vacation!
Love,
Suzanne

Wow! Imagine my surprise when I checked your blog (which I do everyday) and saw this update. Really though, you have such a busy life I don't know how you find the time to do this. The pictures are great!
