Summer Vacation Part 1

(Sorry everything doesn't line up)
So Josh had about a week off before starting back to school this summer; so we made the most of our time and did some fun things together.

First, we spent a couple of days up in Parks, AZ at Gary & Jan's cabin. Tom and Shirley, along with Darrell and Penny Farley, were also up there celebrating Tom's birthday. On Sunday morning we woke up at 3am and headed off to Hualapai Hilltop, were we began our 11 mile hike down to our camping spot in the Havasupai Campgrounds. This was Josh's first time hiking down and I was so excited to share with him why I love this beautiful place so much. I think this was the latest in the year I had ever been and it was really hot! Not to mention that due to the destruction of the vegetation from the flood a few years back it isn't as cool (temperature wise.)

Here we are at Hualapai Hilltop, excited to start

the hike down!

Our Camp and Hiking down to Mooney Falls













































We found this cool little cave/waterfall down stream from Mooney Falls










One of the cute trail dogs followed us the entire hike out to the top! It made hiking out much more fun! We left the campground at like 2am (we had no way to tell time), because we didn't want to be hiking too late in the morning.







I had a blast and hope my husband did too! There is more to come so stay tuned!!!
