Brett's Pick's LCW Canyon

I liked the purple on yellow....
...... not as close as the last one .

Straight out of the car window.
More color everywhere,
purple, orange, white,
and more of the orange.

Jag and Ellee Barton - July 2008

come with us on our trip because he had his shoes on.

1st Sister's Only Trip - July-August 2008

Jan, Laralynn, Lisa and Karalee and our stuff....
We had to take out Jan's to back seats to fit all of our luggage, bedding and food into the car.
We each packed like we were going for two weeks instead of four days. We thought of everything we might possibly need and brought it with us.
I am so grateful for this opportunity to go with my sisters. My thanks to Jan and Lisa for starting the planning process and for believing that we could go and that our Mom would
have wanted us to do it. If she were still alive she would have wanted one of us to take her. We grew a lot on this trip. We laughed, cried, slept and drove together. (Well, actually Jan drove and we rode).
A great big thanks to our families who held the forts down. Thanks for your patience when we took a wrong turn on Sunday and for waiting up for us. Another big thanks to Justin's Aunt and Uncle who provided us a "Cabin away from Home".
Love, Karalee

Ready, Set, GO...........Arizona Sister Trip - 2008

Ok, I will let you take my picture....

Karalee, Jan and Laralynn... We just need Lisa....

Steve's helping us to fit everything into the van....
You would think we were going for two weeks
with all the luggage and food we were
taking with us for this four day trip.

"Our personal GPS Navigators - JOT & LOT"

I am JOT (Jan) and I am LOT (Laralynn)
Are we here or here?
No, I think we should have turned here....
But the map quest says........Oh, I don't know I am
buying an electronic GPS at the next Wal-mart.....

We're along for the ride......Ultimate Passengers...

Lisa posing for the camera.... Look at me...
I love being a passenger...yipee....
Here's a great shot of my shoulder...
I moved back when Lisa tried to take my picture....

ok....Here's a better smile from me....

Lisa and I had the best seats on this trip...

We were the ultimate passengers... We didn't know

where we were most of the time but we just relaxed and

let the experts guide us to Arizona.......

Jan from the back
Laralynn from the back....

Where or where can the "U" shaped pole be?
Where or where can it be? It's in one of these trees....

There were quite a few trees in this area that it could be in.
I went in and went to sleep and Lisa, Jan and Laralynn
continued looking and finally found
the "T" shaped pole to turn on the water.....
