We finally made it to Utah

Our last stop of our adventures was at the border of Utah. We saw Lake Powell and we were tired by the time we reached our destination. We have never seen a lake so huge and with its incredible cliffs everywhere that we took several pics. We are hoping that our next trip we will be able to travel more of Utah to see the Salt Lake Temple.

Antelope Canyon-Page, Az

Our next stop ended up being near Page, Az which was a long drive with five children in tow. I wanted to show them some of their navajo lands. This canyon was made from water and wind over the years. The side of these canyons are smooth and cool to the touch. As we climbed down into the canyon the walls were very narrow in some places that you actually have to walk sideways to move forward. The kids love the cool sand on the floor between their toes. I was mesmerized by the sheer beauty of it all that I hated to leave. The sunlight shining down the canyon walls is spectacular to look at and just a beautiful place to be. We loved our adventures there as the kids hid in small crevices in the rocks, and yelled to hear their echoes throughout the canyon.



Sedona Slide Rock State Park

This past weekend we headed up to Sedona where the kids played in the water. We enjoy going to this water slide where the kids get cooled off and have fun sliding and jumping off rocks.While we were there it rained hard enough to where we had to hide in the crevice of the rocks to wait it out. The scenery is beautiful this time of year and the walls of rocks are red.

School Reunion at EAC

Here I am at Dr. Crae Wilson's Reunion which was held at EAC in Thatcher during March 2008. This reunion was for all students who participated in any of his musical productions that he directed. I was in several musical plays that were so much fun. Some of the plays were "Sound of Music," "Grease"and "South Pacific." There were others just can't remember them, but these plays were great. While I was there I met his daughter Jennifer who was in one of the plays with me, and seeing her again brought back such fun memories. Later in the evening I was able to watch one last play of Dr. Wilson's productions which was "Fiddler on the Roof." My oldest child Sabrina watched this play with me and she loved it as did I. I will always remember the fun memories that were made on that stage and how late we stayed to rehearse for them.

4th of July fun....

We enjoyed the fireworks on two different days while Jono visited. The first show was seen at the Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale. Although it was hot, the kids enjoyed riding on a trolley to tour the racetrack. The second show was seen in Tolleson where the kids enjoyed a huge water slide to get wet on. As we waited for the show to start, we enjoyed eating hotdogs, watermelon and chips to fill our bellies. Fun was had by all and we loved our time there.
