Hello Grand Canyon -South Rim
Yesterday was a long day all around between the flight to Vegas and the drive to the South Rim. It was successful in just about every sense except that I realized on the flight to Vegas that I had forgotten my National Park Pass that we bought in Death Valley. Much drama ensued trying to…

We started our death Valley hiking adventure yesterday with a hike up to Mount Perry. Before starting the hike we took some sunrise photos from Zabriskie point. The hike itself was absolutely amazing. It was a ridgeline hike of about 4 miles (1 way) with death Valley on one side and another set of mountains…

Christine added her 40th state, Nevada, today with our trip to Red Rock Canyon. It was a beautiful 13 mile scenic drive. I think we averaged about 40 pictures per mile (maybe more). We brought Helena’s friend Welly with us and he enjoined the drive too.

Ended a fun Mother’s day with a trip to the beach, which included putting our feet in the ocean, the playground, ice cream, and of course posing for a few pictures taken by “the mother”. This was one of my favs!!!
Read MoreBody Double – I’m in Trouble!
When we asked Helena which of these pictures was her, she pointed to both of them. Kind of amazing how similar Helena and Christine looked as toddlers. I myself did a double take when I saw the picture on the left. Granted, I knew it was not Helena since it was part of a larger…
Read MoreAll Aboard the Potty Train
Before I talk about potty training, I just had to share a couple pictures of Helena from Christmas. This year she really really enjoyed Christmas! When she came downstairs though on Christmas morning it took her a little while to warm up to the idea of opening Christmas presents because she was just so incredibly…
