Spring Grand Canyon Trip

A couple of weeks ago we took a camping trip to the Grand Canyon with some friends from church. It had been several years since we had been to the Grand Canyon so it was an exciting trip. The visibility was great at the canyon however multiple storms came through, dropping the temperatures and dumping snow on the ground which made it uncomfortable to be outside the camper much at night. The first night low was 10 degrees!

Day out with Thomas

Last weekend we took a trip up to Globe after hearing that Thomas the Tank Engine would be up there. Caitlyn had ridden him once before while back east but this was the first time for Carter. Unfortunately the rocking of the train instantly put Carter right to sleep but Caitlyn enjoyed it. There were also lots of activities around the station for the kids to do.

Winter Horseback Riding

This winter Caitlyn has had many opportunities to go over to Mollys cousin, Cheryls house to ride her horses. She is beginning to learn how to control the horse using the reigns and has been leading the horse around so that the horse becomes familiar with her. Carter is still too young to ride but likes to help feed and pet them.

Cave Creek Balloon Festival

In early January we made a trip up to Cave Creek to see a balloon glow with some friends from church. It had been a while since we had been to one. The kids had fun running around on the golf course but didn't have any desire to actually sit in the basket of any of the balloons. At the end of the festival some skydivers with glowing vests and flared dropped out of the night sky which was pretty neat.

Christmas 2010

This year we spent Christmas at home with family. The kids got lots of Zhu Zhu pet junk which pretty much took over the house.

Zachs First Birthday

Our nephew Zach celebrated his first birthday in December. We also used the opportunity to celebrate Christmas with James and Kim before they went to California for the holiday.


Christmas Activities

This year way stayed plenty busy taking advantage of all the Christmas events around town. We went to Zoo Lights, Electric Light Boat Parade, the Garden Train Open House, and visited Santa at the mall. Caitlyn loved Santa... Carter is going to need more time.
