The Hoover Dam tour was great. 



 
 



 
 



The next post will be my photos from the Barrett-Jackson. 

 

On the way home from Las Vegas

We made a couple of pit stops on the way back to Arizona.
The first was at Shelby America

This was a great place to visit.  There wasn't much to see though.
Can't wait to get to the Barrett-Jackson.

We all turn 50!!

The Balloon Glow!

This event was in Cave Creek, AZ.  We have been here a couple of times to visit the funky shops and eat a great burger.

 



Michigan for Christmas

First let me say that we LOVE seeing the family and friends, but man it was cold!!

Yes this is what we came home to. We spent the day at Nate and Athena's and Bill could not wait for ME to take pictures of the ice!!
















Next we headed to Chris and Wayne's for Christmas Eve.  The babies are getting so big.

 

 

 

 
 
Then it was off to Jen's house for breakfast and Ella opening gifts.


 


 

We had Ella on the 27th and this is when the fun began!!
We got her and uncle Nate a couple of Nerf Guns.  Poor Copper had to hide.





 




This was a GREAT Christmas.  You can't beat the warmth of friends and family, no matter how cold it is outside!



Another Great Campground

     We found this place on the way to Arizona. It is 15 miles from no where and I wish we could have stayed longer. It is called Hidden Valley Ranch and that says it all. They are just starting a cattle ranch and they have a few horses and goats. The owners are fantastic and gave us a little tour of the place.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!
