Dandeelyon is building a little social life and daddy can barely keep up!!


World Cup watching party.... GO USA!!!


Tryouts for America's Got Talent -- Dandeelyon sang a solo in front of a TON of people. I was super proud.


Mountain Chess at Liberty Mountain  


Shopping in Carytown with "Fee Fee"


Cuz in town.... pizza time!!

A tip of the hat to one Mr. Thomas Jefferson....

For an awesome field trip. The kids toured the mansion, the museum, and the winery and garden grounds. They spotted a snake in a massive tree stump....

Here's the group Shot.


Grand Canyon 2013

So we decided to head out west and see this massive monstrosity called the Grand Canyon. It was more than we were prepared for. We started in Sedona -- Red Rock Country and then headed North to Flagstaff -- rented some camping gear and camped out at the "South Rim" of the Canyon. Here are some shots from the adventure...

Sedona at twilight... gorgeous. 


Dandeelyon getting work work done on the plane... 


The view from our balcony.... the sunrises were A. Maze. Ing.


Horseback riding through the dessert...


Dandeelyon the daredevil -- this is actually about 15 feet up


We found a Mexican Mission to eat at... for a while I couldn't find Dandeelyon -- and then I remembered, if there are trees, she's usually up in it.


wayyyyy up there.


Daddy & Dandeelyon


We hung out with some of the guides for a while... these donkeys carry people all up and down the canyon; sometimes getting very very close to the edge but they never fall off. Amazing.


Another D&D shot...


Jiffy Pop -- perfect for the campfire




So -- somehow a tree jumped out into the pathway and smacked Dandeelyon right in the chin. She was moving fast too.... so she was able to get some much needed attention from the Canyon Rangers who also hooked us up with cookies and ice cream. #Score


Til next time Sedona....
