The Grand Canyon

The day after we went to the Polar Express we decided that since it was a 45 minutes drive we would take the boys to the Grand Canyon for the first time!!!

We were surprised that since it was Christmas break it was really crowded there!!!

It was so beautiful there!!!

So you can't take a bunch of boy to the Grand Canyon and not have them throw rocks into it!!!

Since it was cold out we took the shuttle bus from each look out spot...it was really nice it would drop you off and come back 15 minutes later to take you to the next spot...best part is it was free!!!

We really enjoyed it and plan on a camping trip with our good friends the Duffin's so we can hike to the bottom!!!

Christmas part 2... The Polar Express!

The Monday after Christmas we headed up to Williams AZ. so the we could take the boys on the Polar Express!!!

The boys outside the train station as the Polar Expressed arrived!

All aboard and ready to go!!!

We were served yummy hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies made by Mrs. Clause!!!

Chef Caleb's favorite part of the book!!!

Tickets please!!!

After going through the "Time Warp" we made it to the North Pole...they made us turn the flash of our cameras so it's a little blurry!!!

If you can see him there's Santa waving from his sleigh!!!

While we were stopped at the North Pole Santa sneaked on the train and surprised the kids with a bell of their own!!!

The boys had a blast, it was so much fun and I'm so glad Santa invited us!!!

Christmas part 1...

12k's of Christmas fun run!!!

Yesterday my friends Jen, Adria and I ran the 12k's of Christmas fun run out at Freestone park!
It was a blast seeing all the fun ways other runners dressed up...we opted for matching socks, black bottoms and white tanks!

At every mile they had carolers singing! It was so fun especially since we ran into one of our friends Stephanie who was a caroler with an amazing voice!

Every race I have done I have always been able to beat my time...however this time I was still under an hour and I only did 4 minutes slower than my last race but since I was still recovering from the gallbladder attack the night before I guess that wasn't to bad! Right?

Bye the way...girls don't sweat...they glisten!

After the race we ran into our friend Cassidy who was running the race also!

Last but not least our wonderful husbands who wait support us by waiting for us at the finish line while holding all our stuff!
Love ya Kevin!
