Grand Canyon

Just because I wish I was here....

Fireworks

Cellphone shots

Arm ink - the heart is for my dad who died of heart disease when I was 13. The "hope" with breast cancer ribbon is for my mom who died from her second battle with breast cancer when I was 33...just 10 months after CeeCee was born. This pic was taken with my cell phone camera which is sometimes a good camera but most times is a piece of sh#%.

Ride

Stepping

Working on being one...I love how responsive he looks here...I LOVE this horse.

Big Guy

The one horse I would buy in a heartbeat...he's such an amazing animal.

Country Jam 2011

CeeCee and I were able to go in the Sky Box for Blake Shelton concert at Country Jam in Eau Claire, WI. While I thoroughly enjoyed the show...she would have rather it been Taylor Swift...ha, ha..I'm the mom, I get the tickets. Overall, great day, thank God the humidity was lower than the previous days. I will go out on a limb here and say, if I go again, CeeCee will not go with me. Will have to try to go to WE Fest sometime in the future, then she can stay at my brother's house while I go for some fun...

Antelope Canyon

My absolute favorite place in Page, AZ...really need to go back here and explore more.

Colorado River

Rafting down the Colorado just outside of Page, AZ heading towards the Grand Canyon.

Horseshoe Bend

Horseshoe bend in Page, AZ...what a sight to see. No guide rails around the edge, just get up to the edge and lay over to get the full view. We had some nice California Condors soaring above us on this day as well.

Sticking with Arizona

I love this picture. I had been the only one to have been to the Grand Canyon before. We drove up from Sedona through Oak Creek Canyon into Flagstaff in a snow storm, when we finally reached the Grand Canyon, the storm was still going through it and the clouds had blocked the whole view at our first stop. My family is all looking over the edge and can't see anything. We stayed for about 5 minutes, and then it started to clear.

This was the view after it cleared.

Sunset in Arizona

Going back through pictures from 2009. This is sunset outside Page, AZ.

Beauty

Galloping up a hill. Those muscles are working.

Mama

Mama was a bucking bronco however, you could tell there was somewhere else she wanted to be and it was even more obvious when her filly joined her for a trot around the ring. It was one of the cutest things I have ever seen.
