Hey everyone! Last weekend we drove south to Phoenix, Arizona to visit some family. JC's grandpa lives there and so does his uncle and Matt and Lesley (JC's bro and sister-in-law) drove with their five kids from California to meet us. As usual, I took way too many pictures, so I'm trying to narrow it down to the best ones. This was hard to do for a 5 day trip with 5 kids and a holiday involved, but I think I got all the good ones =)
We'll start with the sunset from the night before we left….wish the camera could do it justice =( this was taken from our dining room window!
In Western Colorado on the way to Utah...
The mountains in western Colorado look different…it was nice to see another part of our state =)
I love tunnels!!
Didn't know there were red mountains out here… reminds me of home!
There are also plateaus out here…. this one is a cool gray color
These look like they're made from sand, but it's actually rock.
And this is in Utah, near Moab.
He looks pretty comfortable on Teddy doesn't he??
I have to thank Lauren for this trip…it was all her idea =)
Five kids, five horses =)
Lesley and I were both taking a lot of pictures….
We went riding at Goldfield Ghost Town. Those are the Superstition Mountains behind the town.
Lesley staring off into the desert =)
Connor =)
Love seeing this guy on a horse =)
Brothers =)
Niece Lauren...
Little series with the stuffed cowboy =)
Nephew Connor
Part of the movie Charro, starring Elvis Presley, was filmed in this chapel…
Oh these kids…..
Finally alone in the carriage ;)
JC is so good at taking pretty pictures =)
And the sky was beautiful that day =)
Not sure what kind of plant this is…..
Love these girls =)
Grandpa is known for his jokes…. making us laugh wearing this wig =D
Hailey and Lauren hid the eggs in the backyard to find on Easter morning… if you look close enough you can see some of them =)
Evan with his bag of eggs.
Connor always stops and smiles for a picture….even when he wants to get to the eggs before his brothers!
Easter Selfie =)
Logan was the only one tall enough to reach this one!
Matt also has jokes….
I had no idea Easter Arizona was so pretty…reminded us of GA!
We saw at least three trains on our way back… I like trains almost as much as I like tunnels =)
More red mountains, but these had cliff dwellings in them!
My first time in New Mexico!
We drove on Historic Route 66!!
Albuquerque, NM
Izzy likes the car a little bit more than Gizmo...
Could have stopped in Las Vegas on the way back ;)
And I will leave you with a cute picture of Gizmo in his new bed =)
