HOME!!!

We made it home to the house around 4:30 after we went and saw Memaw and Pepaw and Uncle Raleigh and Aunt Frances. Then we went to Mamaw and Papaw's to see them and Odie. After that we went to church and had a great service. It is wonderful to be back home and in church. Well today started off busy. Dad went to work, Vic off to golf and Mom off to grocery stores. Working on the unpacking and getting back on to Ohio's time and not Arizona's time. We definitely had an amazing vacation that we will never forget.

OHIO!!!!! only an hour or so to go till home:)

It's 8am in Indy, Sunday, really rhe last day of our trip. I think we're on Central time here? Don't know.
The flight was about 40 min. late arriving but it was a good one and we all had good time on the plane. We took a taxi to the hotel, shuttle was busy. Once checked in at the Comfort Suites, we secured Yucko Bell for all but
me, I had one last Humberto from Phx. Soon to wake up all for 11am departure....

Delay

It's raining a bit, flights are falling behind some too, 4:30 departure so far. We don't have to be anywhere anywhen, it's a straight-thru flight. The whole crew has bolted for Starbuck's and restrooms. Deidre's is at a charging station, Ipoddin'...

Last Sunset

Last sunset in Phoenix. They are allways special, even with clouds.

Humberto's

Uncle Davy Stop.
One final stop on the way to Sky Harbor. Humberto's is a burrito place that puts Hot Head and Chipotle to shame, well it's better to me anyway. The fellow behind the counter said his boss was looking to expand so I touted our area. The pork carnitas is fabulous with a pico that bites back in tandem with the red chile sauce I had them add at the store. The have regular styles or create your own option. I was creative... We're eating at the airport after returning our rental car, the kid's chose Jack-in-the-Box over Humbertos but what do they know. They CAN cart around luggage rather well though.

Also: There is a very sweet post on .www.boggsblogs.com concerning Davy & Kelly's friends in Montana and the kindnesses bestowed on them, a unique tribute, you'll see. Truly they are blessed.

Leaving the west via Sky Harbor

We have had a dream from which we will awake. But not yet. We're still having fun. We stopped for favorite grub to eat at the airport as we wait for the flight at 4:05 and are leisurely checking blogs and watching the crowds.
I really like the overpass fencing that looks like the horizon all around this vast valley of heat. We have been here in what the locals call monsoon season. Winter and summer there are 2-3 weeks of sporadic rain and cloud cover. We caught drizzle once or twice and apparently it rained plenty last night because our swim gear and towels were soaked on the veranda this morning. Said rain caused us to bustle around with laundry this morning washing and drying in order to pack and exit by 11. We made it with excellent direction by our lovely cruise director. You really can not imagine the benefits of marrying so well! Thank you my love...
The bug is for Kelly. It was creeping across the parking lot last night. Kinda small, about 2.5" or so.

We are packing up one last time. Mom is finishing the laundry. The boys are packing up the last box to be sent home. I'm just sitting here watching them try to close the box and tape it up:) We check out @ 11, return car @ 230, and fly out @ 4.

We had a great last day at Sunsplash waterpark. We dont have any pictures cause of the water issue but we had a blast on all the slides!!! Miss ya all and will be home soon:)

Our last dinner on vacation- Red Lobster!!! Let's see... shrimp, crab, cajun chicken linguini alfredo, snow crab legs, lobster and shrimp mashed potatoes, blackened rainbow trout, some biscuits, and ONE slice of chocolate cake with ice cream called the Wave. It was all very good. Went back to the condo for one more night:(

The general area...

3 sliders

Victor's third leap. Wow!

I must say I was rather proud of us for conquering real fear and leaping off these cliffs. This leap was impressive to me in a lot of ways. It was difficult to climb these sandstone cliffs from the very bottom and by the time I got back up top for the second time, it didn't seem worth the third climb to get back out! I should have went though, because the actual leap was exhilarating! Well, V did it, and then went up to the highest point possible for his third. I'm very proud of all of us, but Long and Lean was the testosterone king for the day!

Way to go V!

Victor again, Gus and Dad decline...

Cliffs at Slide Rock

We loved Slide Rock, K and I have been there and we knew the kids would like it too. Last time, I thought about doing this but I probably wouldn't have if my boys hadn't been there too. V went off three times, the third from the even higher cliff. I could see in his eyes as he surfaced, he was done...

Slide Rock State Park

Snaking down from 7300" we wind down 89A through another beautiful area of Arizona. These switchbacks and curves bring us to a natural place to play in the cold mountain springwater of Oak Creek. This is the start....

..

You pay your parking fee here and then you NEVER see another state employee. The place is dangerous and I don't think anyone really wants to be responsible, as it should be...

Clouds!!! They are big and beautiful and full out little rain showers. God has created something that is so amazing and wonderful. And lots of fun to look at while driving in Arizona:)
