Hi everyone. Been a long couple of days. We left Greer yesterday for Phoenix. We almost didn't get here after several attempts to get out of our road. The road had iced up and it took several goes and a friendly neighbors with a tow cord to get us out. Half way to Phoenix, Luke and Stacy's car got hit with a chunk of ice and there car window was shattered. Luckily Andrew wasn't hurt as he was sitting next to the window. We had a lunch stop at Wild Girls Saloon an...

Happy New Year everyone!!! Hope everyone had a great new years eve. We had a great new years eve & new years day. A bit of a lazy day to start off with yesterday as the weather was pretty bad. The Bodle's & McBeath's went snowboarding and we went to meet up with them in the afternoon. That was pretty scary because the visibility when driving was extremely bad, very scary!!

Today we headed off to take the kids sledding. Lots of snow was expected to arrive today and it sure did. I watched the crazy sledders and volunteered to babysit Benji. Max was out there making the most of it. Andrew had fun with his mum and dad. It is still snowing and looks set in for now. We are expecting a foot tonight which will be great for testing out my new snowboard, hehe.

Today we decided to take a drive to the Grand Canyon. We left Greer at 5 am and made it to the canyon by about 10 am. It is just huge. It was also again so cold. Max and I both have got bad colds. All the family have had it so I guess it is just our turn now. We stopped in Tuba for the night.
