i am sure i have used that title before, but what a whirlwind of a month! I have not yet done a stitch of Christmas shopping, which is very unlike me! all that aside.....where do I begin?? well, in early november, we took a trip to Arizona, where my younger sister got married. It was wonderful to connect with my family, whom I have missed very much, and even planning an extra day off of work and school did not make it feel like "enough" time. The trip down was pleasant, as well, despite tha fact that we realized at the last minute we did not have the proper cables to our van's DVD player. they were misplaced in the confusion of a car accident a year ago, and who was thinking about traveling then?? so - the kids loaded up their toys and books, and we played several rounds of the alphabet game. not too bad of a 13-hour drive with 5 children! woohoo!!
first major stop was a sweet picnic area in southern utah. we had yummy sandwiches and cookies...and caught sight of 4 beautiful "Stellar's Jay" bluejays....unfortunately, i have no pictures of the kids there...just several attempts at a busy bird. the kids WERE there, but I photograph them all the time!
then....we stopped at Glen Canyon Dam...in the neighborhood of the Grand Canyon, and it was a wonderful thing to see. we did get one fun pic of the kids, but again...the scenery stole the stage!
Always need posers!
And the breathtaking sunset over the Utah/Arizona desert....
