Family fun in Arizona

We had a great time at both grandma and cool and aunt Teresa's pool. Each day the kids had a blast playing with all their cousins.

After a few days of family fun, we continued on to Williams, Arizona to see the Grand Canyon. We had a few more mechanical issues, but had a great mechanic in Flagstaff that helped us out. The RV is now running beautifully.

Once in Williams, Debbie surprised us with a first-class train tickets to take up to the Grand Canyon. What a fantastic experience that was! The kids loved that we had the whole car to ourselves with food and drink the entire way.

That night, we met up with another family right across from us in the campground. They turned out to be a homeschool family that was traveling with four kids in a 32 foot RV. We had an instant connection, and our two youngest, the girls became fast friends. Their three boys were wonderful too and we were able to connect with them, swim, share a campfire, and many travel stories. What a blessing this trip has been for meeting up with these families that are so similar to ours and yet come from all over the United States. We only knew them for one night, but felt a strong connection and exchanged contact information for the future.
