Polar Express






Riding the Polar Express is a must for everyone! We had the opportunity of taking our son and four grandchildren on this excursion December 23, one day after the white-out in Northern Arizona. The train traveled up to the North Pole and then returned back to Williams with a special guest, Santa Clause, who gave a special gift to each child, a Christmas Bell. This was an awesome experience for everyone!

Rim to Rim




October 13 was the day! Tanner and I went Rim to Rim across the Grand Canyon in one day. We started out at the North Rim at 5:15 am, followed the North Kiabab Trail to Phantom Ranch. We rest briefly and continued on up the Bright Angel Trail. We reached the South Rim 11 1/2 hours after we started. What a hike! We have decided to make this a yearly event.
