Dad wanted to do a camping trip that involved getting out on some water, and Escalante was ultimately chosen. Nigel requested to take the raft this time, rather than the canoe. He and Dad went out on the water for a while, but didn't have the little boats to play with. A group of people were jumping off the dock into the reservoir as Dad and Nigel looked on. Nigel asked if he could just jump out of the raft into the reservoir, and Dad said that since he had a life jacket on, absolutely. Nigel just slipped in over the side of the boat, and he and Dad were in and out of the water a few times over the next little while, playing. The water was a bit cold, but not untolerably so.
Mom and Dad found that Nigel is not fond of hiking these days when hiking the petrified forest trail with him. The way back went well, but the hike up was not very pleasant.
