Arizona was the perfect vacation. We had such a great relaxing time. Besides the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta and hiking Pennacle Peak, Brent and dad played a golf a few times and mom and I shopped some in Scottsdale and in a little town called Cave Creek. Tuesday night we went down to Scottsdale and watched Cole Uphaus play football! He had an amazing game with 2 touchdowns and some great tackles! He was awesome!!




He scored 12 points!




One of the times they played golf, mom and I rode along for 9 holes. It was so beautiful. Its not every day you get to play golf with the mountains as a background.

On our last day there we took a trip to Bartlett Lake. It is a large lake in the middle of the desert inbetween mountains. It was a beautiful lake. One lady who worked there said the lake was down 50%.



Then we made our way to Cave Creek and ate at this burger place called Big Earls Eats. It is a restored gas station made into a burger joint. They have an area to eat outside where the origial gas pumps are still there with the price reading $.94 a gallion! This sign we are standing by says "We are not in Kansas anymore Toto!" We thought it was appropriate to have a picture!





The sunsets are beautiful in Arizona!



Friday night we went to watch Grant play football in the homecoming game. Grant was also on the homecoming court! It was fun to watch him tear it up on the football field!! We got a few pictures!
