Grand Canyon Road Trip






Maria, Tanner and I took a road trip to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon yesterday and what a wonderful experience it was. This was my first trip to the canyon and it will not be the last as Tanner and I are preparing to make the Rim-to-Rim trip this October.

We took a small hike down Bright Angel trail and came upon a pair of big horn sheep. Also, on our way out of the park, we stopped and I got within fifty feet of a Bull Elk.

We even made a slight detour to find the Elementary and High schools within the park. Maybe a location change in the future. This would be a great place to live and teach.

What a wonderful trip, just in our backyard!

Court of Honor



We attended Tanner's Boy Scout Court of Honor last night and we were presented with an outstanding production. The activity was held at Watson Lake, which provided a wonderful backdrop for the event (picture included).
Tanner received nine merit badges, three of which were earned at Camp Geronimo, and advanced to the rank of a Star Scout. He is on his way to becoming an Eagle scout, as he is just 12 1/2 years of age.
