Grand Canyon

Our Grand Canyon Vacation
 
 Sunset
 
 We got to stay in a hotel!
 
We started at the top!
 Made it to Indian Garden.
4.5 miles down, 3000 ft elevation drop, 2 hours.
 
 
 Now we have to make it back up to the top!  We were so far down!!!
 Crazy switchbacks
 Those trees are Indian Gardens.
 Pretty red rock...I'm getting tired.
 Breathtaking
 
We are almost to the top and there is where we hiked to!
 We made it!
 Bright Angel Trail.
9 miles roundtrip
3000 ft elevation change
2 hours down
2 1/2 hours up
We beat the sunset!

Halloween Cookies

 They create quite a mess...but they look so fun in the end!  
Plus they are the best cookies to eat ever!
Happy Halloween!

No More Puddle Under My Sink

And no more drippy, leaky faucet...the maintenance man just put in a brand new faucet-with a sprayer!  
We are livin' the high life, my friends!

Birthday Weekend

We got to spend Chris's birthday with his parents and we had a great time!  We watched conference, played games, chatted, ate yummy lemon cake, and enjoyed the cooler fall weather.



 Picking tomatoes...yum!
 Along our drive home:
  This is in ARIZONA!!  don't ask me why I live in Phoenix instead of here...
 We got to watch a most beautiful sunset


And see lovely mountains, which don't really show up in this picture.  
Oh well. :)
