Arizona Road Trip

The view from the lookout.

We were actually above the storm here. We were in a constant storm from the time we left our garage until we hit the border of Phoenix. We had two nice days on Saturday and Sunday. We loved the sun for the time we had it! This is a colder wetter winter for everyone.






You can see how low the clouds were. They were moving through so fast. We came around a bend as we were leaving Paige and ran into this.
Chad looking angelic standing in the clouds. Here comes the SUN


















Very cool LARGE cactus. Kalli and Uncle Rick are look'n short.









The view from the end of Rick's street.

Cokie the dalmation (girl) and Joey the Yorkie (boy) are best buds. Their relationship status on Facebook would be listed as " It's Complicated". Ha ha
It didn't take long for Joey to nap on Mike's lap.
Joey loves the Arizona sun.
Sit'n in the morning sun is the best feeling.

The Towne house in Veil, Az.
The main reason for our trip was to take Chad to a Pro Kicker Camp in Tempe Az. The High School it was at was amazing. Braedon Loveless and his family also went. We dropped Chad off at their Condo on Friday night. We went on another two hours to Tucson, to visit my brother Rick. On Sunday we all met up at the school and hung out a few hours and watched the boys until it was over around 3:00pm. From there we headed to Las Vegas to stay the night with Karla & Matt. We headed home Monday morning .

The weather started to cloud up again at the base of the Arizona Strip. It snowed on us most of the way home Monday.

The Sun Shine looks so good! I can almost feel the warmth! The picture of Chad in the clouds is a good one! I am tired of all this snow already!

I can't tell you how jealous I am that you were able to spend some time in the gorgeous weather!!! To go outside in short-sleeves is one of my dreams. How fun was that.

Hi Shelly Girl, you are one busy lady. We were in Phoenix at the end of December. Fun times!! I will give you a call soon. We could probably get together after the 15th or so considering the busy times ahead for us all. Thanks for the update on Kathy and Mike. Good luck to them in their new house!!
