Horseshoe Bend in Page, Arizona

We had a couple hours before we were going to meet Chris’ family for our Lake Powell trip, so we decided to check out Horseshoe Bend once we got to Page.  It was close to 100 degrees when we hiked the fifteen minutes to where you could view the bend.   We carried water and it was all gone by the time we got there.  Hot!

The view was pretty spectacular… even grander than it looks in pictures.  So neat to see.  Steep steep cliffs so there was lots of hand holding.  I laid down on the cliff to get the shot below… and wished I had a wider lens to capture it all. 

Summer Camp

Katie and Brookelyn hosted their second Summer Camp for Girls and had a great time.  It was the first week after school got out and they were surprised at how quickly the slots filled up.  They ended up having 13 little girls for most of the camp.

Tuesday – Thursday 9:00 – 12:00 $40 each  --  This year they called it ‘Olaf’s Summer Camp’ and had an Olaf craft, Olaf treat and lots of other fun summer activities, snacks and crafts.  I think the girls loved it!  It sure is a great way for them to earn money for Girls Camp and EFY.

The Olaf’s Summer Camp filled up so quick that when some boys showed interest, Katie and Ryan thought they’d add a Boys Super – Hero Camp to their afternoon.  Tuesday – Thursday 1:00 – 4:00 $40 each.  Ryan and two boys who were playing GeoTracks downstairs are missing from the picture.  They ended up with 6 boys (including Luke and Matt) and had a great time coming up with Super Hero activities for these tough guys to do.

October Fun

Thanksgiving time…

Christmas time…

January - Martin Luther King Day   “I have a dream.  My dream is that I could be Hulk and save people.”

February

I found this paper that came home from school in early February.  “In 9 days I am going to Hawaii with my family.”  So hard to focus on anything else!

President’s Day – reversible Lincoln and Washington president art – so cute!

March – St. Patrick’s Day things…  “I feel lucky when I got a new friend that is right beside my house.”  Matthew’s treasures: Ryan, Mom, Dad, Gamdpad, WiiU.

Mother’s Day

Matthew was so cute with his charts.  He loved when I would make one for him but more and more he wanted to make his own.  He would draw pictures of what he wanted to accomplish that day which would take him a good hour itself.  I loved finding his charts all around the house.
