No Kings protest

Greg and I started our morning at Lake Mead by attending the No Kings protest in nearby Henderson.

The crowd filled both sides of the street. The event organizer told us that a thousand people had signed up to attend in this Red city.

We didn’t feel like we should let our vacation get in the way of doing our patriotic duty.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but it was a lot of fun!

Even the frogs were in attendance!

There were some great signs, too!

Some folks wore their patriotism…

Even the dogs were showing their patriotism!

And many of the cars passing by honked their horns to show their support, waved American flags, or gave us the thumbs up!

After the rally, Greg and I had fast food for lunch before heading back to the campground.

Kayaking on Lake Mead

After finishing setting up the camper at our site last night, Greg and I drove down to the beach to see where we might be able to launch our kayak. Greg had his heart set on kayaking while we were here.

The sun was just beginning to set, and the sky was a lovely shade of blue and pink.

We even got to see a couple pairs of mallard ducks.

So after the No Kings protest and our fast food lunch, we headed to the beach with our kayak.

There was a separate beach just for kayaks and canoes.

After our kayak trip, we headed to the laundromat to do what we hope will be our last load of laundry for this trip.
