Quick Trip

It was wonderful to see so many of our loved ones on our trip to Phoenix. We took a hike up to White Tank and had a picnic. I enjoyed Elaine's chocolate chip cookies quite a bit!


The trail was easy to navigate, the temperature was perfect and the company was sublime. I loved getting to go hiking with my dad, just like old times.


The petroglyphs.

The kids took these interesting photos of each other.



"What are you looking at me for? I have nothing to say. Why don't you try to compose yourself and look the other way?" (Quote from something Uncle Miles memorized for school.)

Funny to see Gentry in a baseball cap. It was borrowed for the occasion, so he didn't burn the top of his head! This is the tank that the natives used to grow crops. Interesting site. No other water around.

Victoria's Job


"I cleaned out and vacuumed every single cabinet, inside and out! Dad even make me take the drawers out and clean the rails!" She wailed, gnashing and groaning. Luckily she was paid and did admit that it was kind of fun to hang out with dad.
