Grand Canyon

Here are some pictures from our trip to the Grand Canyon. It was amazing! The boys weren't as impressed. Their favorite part of the trip was watching the friendly squirrels that kept begging us for food. I also included a couple pictures of us relaxing at the hotel after the long ride in the car. So glad we made the detour up there.

We Survived

Thanks H for reminding me that I started this blog! We just got back from our trip to California and I actually have something to write about. The trip was really fun...we hit up the Grand Canyon, Disneyland, a trip to Ventura beach to see a friend, the Central Valley to see family, Sonora (foothills) to see more family, another beach trip just to play, back to the Valley for more family time, then the loooong drive home (with a quick stop at the Meteor Crater). It was really nice to see everyone. I am so grateful for our wonderful family and friends in Cali. I have tons of pictures so it'll take me a while to get it all posted.

To start, here are some highlights from our beach trip:


As you can tell the boys loved playing on the beach. It was a beautiful day and actually got a bit chilly towards the end of the day....so nice after several days of over one hundred degree weather in the valley.
