Idaho Trip

We had so much fun on our summer trip this year. Instead of heading directly to Idaho we decided to take a round-about way so we could see some new countryside and visit friends. First stop was Phoenix. We had such a good time despite the 500 degree weather (I jest- I'm just a wimp). A & J took us to see a little bull-riding Sat. eve. Sunday was fellowship day so we got to spend time with other friends too. Sunday evening we headed up to Flagstaff and A & J joined us which made that leg of our trip extra special. Monday after the boys were done working, we went for a hike at the site of some cliff-dwelling ruins. It was very cool to see. Let us all be appreciative that we don't live on the side of a cliff. Tuesday we left Flagstaff, went to Bearizona and then on to the Grand Canyon. Did you know that the Grand Canyon is huge, indeed grand? That it is amazing? Pass the word along. We finished off Tuesday by traveling to Bryce Canyon. We drove through some surprisingly beautiful country before the sun went down. Wednesday we went into Bryce Canyon, drank in the beauty and then went on a little hike up the "mossy cave trail." There are no pictures of Mossy cave because, unlike everything else we saw, it was unimpressive. Regardless, we had the best time playing along the river. It was an afternoon we will not soon forget. Enjoying nature with the family is the best.

Eventually we did make it to Idaho and of course enjoyed ourselves immensely!

Megan, You have a beautiful group of pictures! You got some great shots of the Grand Canyon. I think one of my favorites was the one you titled "awesomeness". It truly is!! And of course your kid pictures are always great. I must say you caught Hannah's "crazy eyes" perfectly. :)

I wanted to keep clicking...but you ended the show : ) Lucas is crazy--in a good way and I love him. I just had to keep giggling at the shots of him with his head in the cold water, trying to ride rapids on a stick, etc. Tell him I really miss him! And also tell him that Nora's hair looks like the Beebs now : )
