Fun in the water

We headed up to Enterprise, UT to pick up a load of fruit wood.  We had to stop by the Beaver Dam Reservoir to let Cassy play in the water.  She absolutely loves it.  I wish we lived closer to a place she could play in the water all the time.  

Mmmmmm, grass.  

She loves to roll in the dirt too.  

4th of July

Wishing all our friends and family a safe Independence Day.

Oak Creek Canyon, Dogtown Lake and White Horse Lake

While in Williams, AZ we ventured over to Oak Creek Canyon.  What a pretty place it is.  I can only imagine what it must look like in the fall.   

Cassy loves to look out the window.  

One of the cactus blooms in the area. 

Timm loves drives like this.  

When the canyon opens up at the south end near Sedona the rock formations are spectacular. 

Cool refreshing water 

Cassy wanted in the water really bad but I don't think the fly fisherman would have appreciated it. 

We took Cassy Dogtown Lake and White Horse Lake so she could swim. 

It really made her day! 

And of course, she needs to roll in the dirt afterwards.

Bearizona

While at the Northern Arizona BBQ Festival we took time to visit Bearizona again.  This was our third trip and it gets better each time we go.  They continue to work, build and grow the amazing park.  There are new animals and exhibits each time we go.   Here are some photos from our time there for you to enjoy.

A couple of trips planned

It seems like its been forever since we've been on a trip but we made reservations for a couple of trips.  Labor Day weekend we are heading to Marysvale, Utah!  Yes!  We'll be camping at Lizzie and Charlies' and riding the ATVs in the beautiful Utah mountains on the Paiute trail system.

In the next couple of weeks we'll be heading south for the Northern Arizona BBQ Festival in cool Williams, Arizona.  This was our first contest ever so it's always like going home.  We're taking a couple of extra days for us to explore and enjoy the area.  

Memorial Day

Take time today to give thanks to those who have sacrificed so you can enjoy your adventures.  

Happy Memorial Day!

National Day of Prayer

Please take a few moments to pray for our nation.  Pray that our leaders would be surrounded by wise council and that wise council would be used in making decisions for America.

Pray for our troops...that they may have the resources they need to do the jobs that must be done, pray for their safety, pray for their support.  

Pray that our economy to improve, to put our citizens back to work, to reduce the number of people on public assistance, that they may work to support themselves.

Pray that we take pride in America, stand up for what is right, to bring America back to a place of morality and sensibility that has been missing for a long time.

Pray for peace.
