Rain!

It finally rained.  Daniella and dad got their boat out of the attic and took a little boat ride in the park next to our home.  Not very deep, but was sure fun.

We sure like the rain.

Amellia is going to be here any day now.  Keep watching for the post of our new little girl.

Daniella and Dad Go Camping

Daniella and her Dad went to Knoll Lake to go camping last weekend.  They had a great time.

It was really cold.  Daniella was so excited to be camping.

After camp was set up it was off to the lake to take a look at where we would go fishing in the morning.  After about a quarter mile it started to rain.  Running back to the car we got soaked.  Good thing our new car has a DVD player to watch a movie during the rain.

Our little tent was very comfy.  A bit cold but comfy.  Daniella only made dad get up twice in the night to get her water jug and then her Care Bear.  Daniella loves her Care Bear.  Thank you Paulette for the great gift.

First thing in the morning we took our little boat out on the lake.  It was windy so dad worked really hard with the oars.  No fish were caught but we were there for the fun.

The road to Knoll Lake involved a 30 mile dirt road that went right along the rim.  There was a great view the entire drive.

Our car got really dirty, but that is why we have it. 

Daniella and her dad hope to go camping together a lot this summer.

Grand Canyon

We decided to go to the Grand Canyon before summer break. We had Daniella's cousin, Trentten, along for the trip and we all had a wonderful time.

Daniella loves to take pictures with our camera. She is getting better at her self portraits.



Our first stop was at a park at the base of Mars Hill. It was the best little park for our three little travelers to get some wiggles out.


Kendell has turned into quite the gymnast. He never lets a bar go by with out hanging and swinging for a little while.




He can really get some air all by himself.



We visited the Lowell Observatory atop Mars Hill. It was a fun time. This is the place that Pluto was first discovered. It was not quite dark so we only got to see the moon.





We made it to the Grand Canyon at last. It was a very windy and cold day.


Here is a good picture of our family. It won't be long and we will have another little one to tag along.


Daniella and Trentten loved their time together. They played long and hard together. They really wore each other out. Where are those kids' parents. Probably off hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.


This was our last chance to hang out with Seth. He leaves for Argentina at the beginning of June.


At one of the lodges there were some relaxing chairs to sit on out on the deck.



Grandpa showed the grandkids how to swing really high.


We had a really good time and hope that we can take this trip again when the kids are a little bit older to appreciate the beauty of the Grand Canyon. Maybe we will hike to the bottom when hey are all grown and want nothing more than to hang out with their parents on a long weekend.
