*held a baaaaby :)
*HUGE cactus
*water fight

How COOL is this up close???



In Duck Creek canyon

Indian ruins that are probably more new than
anyone realizes

Bryce and my dad being brave. I would never in a million years
go out on that little lopsided rock ledge!

Mom, Dad, Bryce, and me. We L.O.V.E. hiking with them!!

The view from this little archway was AMAZING

Sounds like you had a great time. We love Arizona. We also went to the pawn shop in Las Vegas when we went. It looks so much bigger on T.V.! Also, a lot cleaner! =)

Hey, I found your blog! This is Merry Packard from Flagstaff! My husband and I live near Vegas and went just a few weekends ago to see the Bellagio fountains and the blown glass flowers and stuff. It was so much fun! We watched the fountains twice too. The best was "Luck be a lady."
