Lake Havasu 2005

Rich drove Chelsea to Phoenix in early July to stay with us for about a week.   The average temperature during her stay was about 115 degrees, so we really didn't get out much.  Since they were hauling a trailer from Utah, they had to go through Laughlin instead of across the Hoover Dam, so they stopped by and checked out the Colorado River.  Chelsea was OK until she found the fish cleaning station, and the smell drove her crazy (or at least the idea of the smell).  Rich decided to tease Chelsea about taking her to the smelliest place on Earth, Lake Hava-sueee-sueee, and he made obnoxious pig sounds the whole way there.  By the time she finally got out of the car, it was nearly impossible to get her to hold still for a couple of photos.  Every time some starting singing "London Bridge is Falling Down," Chelsea she took off in a dead sprint away from the bridge.  Rich tried to tell her that it was just an old nursery rhyme, and that they rebuilt it much sturdier now that it is in the US, but that didn't seem to relieve her fears.  This kind-of set the whole tone for the week, as Chelsea bolted off running every time Rich got the camera out, figuring that we must be near some old stone structure that is ready to fall on her head at any moment.
