Emerald Cove Resort

Since being on the beach is my first favorite thing to do and blogging is my second you are in for a post the size of double XL. We had such a fun weekend at the Emerald Cove resort with our friends from Vegas. This resort is located along the Colorado river with a mile of beautiful clean sand and lovely clear water. The river is dammed aways up so it is just like a lake. This river actually connects to Lake Havasu. It was average highs of 95 the whole trip so you guessed it, we spent 90 percent of the time in water. Either enjoying one of the pools, hottubs or just swimming at the beach. So pardon my over usage of the camera this weekend, I simply couldn't help myself. There was too much fun to be had!



I have to say this is the most relaxed I've been for ages. I read my book and watched the kids make sand castles for hours. They just never tire of it and neither do I!

The sunsets here were so beautiful, the picture speaks for itself I suppose.

Someone had deposited hundreds of sea shells along the shore. Sierra was mesmorized by the collection she worked so hard for.

Dan and Elena are fish in human bodies. They didn't care that the water was cold cold.

This picture shows how clear and clean the water is. Of course it also shows Dan's cheesy grin in his favorite place to be.

Relaxing, eating grapes, eating junk, eating, swimming, eating, swimming. Thats about it. What could be more fun. This was the first time we've ever stayed in an RV. I wouldn't call it camping cause it was just too comfortable. I'll say one thing though, my days in a tent are officially OVER!

There was a kids club at the resort open from 9 to 9. The kids did all sorts of crafts, games, bingo, movies, ect. They loved it. Parents could leave the kids there with the older couple supervising. This was one of my favorite things I liked about the resort.

Every night we partied in the hot tub. The kids would jump in the cold pool and then come running back in the hottub. On the last night they were hosting karaoke night at the pool side bar so what did we do?! Dan and I sang our wedding song "When you say nothing at all" in front of all the drunk snow birds. They clapped and cheered for us. That was a blast.

They had free mini golf so Megan and Elena had fun doing that.

Here is a picture of our good friends from Vegas. Dan has been best friends with Russel since they were just little kids so we have kept in very good contact with his family throughout the years. Their kids and our kids are similar in age so they just partied it up all weekend. We love them!



Russel was the camp cook and I have to say we ate some of the best steaks I've ever had. Can you believe it, a dad that LIKES to cook!


Maysa and Lauren spent all weekend playing together. They laughed and giggled and built little sand castles, then dumped the sand on eachother's heads.


Here is the river rats club showing off their beautiful sand creation. They played in the sand every night till way after sunset. It just didn't get cold, we loved it!


Sierra's collection of sea shells. She told me after the trip that she would rather come back here than disneyland! Imagine that. We'll definetly be coming back.
