Arizona ~ June 8 - June 23, 2007

Here's some pictures from our family reunion in Phoenix

& trip down the Grand Canyon: 

After our first day in Phoenix, we went out to Canyon Lake about an hour or so away.  Here's a picture as we approached it.    

This is a picture of my cousins with Chris in the middle & my brother on the far right side.  We're on a boat called "The Dolly" cruising on Canyon Lake.

 Seconds later, a wind came up & blew the hat off my cousin Andrew's head (he's the tall one with the white shirt in the middle).  He reached to catch it & knocked off  Chris' hat too - doh!

The following day, we all went on a train ride.  I took this picture while we were waiting to board the train.  I just love these guys!  This shot makes me really happy. 

Here's the end of the train & the amazing landscape we were traveling through.  It was a pretty fun trip, we had a car to ourselves, which is a good thing because we're a rather rowdy bunch. 

And this is the only photo I have of all of the family together.  I'm behind the two in blue (Molly & Aunt Dorothy) wearing the black cap. 

While in Phoenix, Chris, my brother, Bruce & I stayed at my cousins' Vikki & Steve's house.  They have a pool in their backyard (like most Phoenicians) & we spent a fair amount of time swimming & even jumped off the roof into the pool once ~ thanks for the hospitality guys! 

Driving up to Flagstaff, two days before the white water rafting trip, we stopped at a few attractions including Walnut Canyon.  Can you spot the square windows of the ancient dwellings in the middle of the page & a little to the right?

Here we (my Uncle Doug, Uncle Bill, me & my mom) are in one of those dwellings ~ cool!

On the way to Page, we stopped at Montezuma Castle. 

Chris & I

We stopped at the Glen Canyon Dam in Page & went on the dam(n) tour ~ haha.  It was pretty fascinating, including going down 528 feet into the interior of the dam.
