Like James Brown, the Godfather of Soul said, "I cain't do no mo!" School starts in two days and tomorrow will be spent doing a little bit of back to school shopping so we'll have to call it a summer!
You'd never believe it if we just told you about it but many of the summer activities are posted here as proof so let's review: (in no particular order)
Visited Meteor Crater, Waputki National Monument (NM) Sunset Crater NM, Tonto NM, Montezuma's Castle NM, Walnut Canyon NM, Petrified Forest National Park, Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site, Canyon De Chelly NM (we also hiked to the bottom of the canyon to The White House ruins) Navajo NM, Four Corners Landmark, Monument Valley in Utah, Legoland in California which included a visit with Gramma and Grampa Ross and Aunt Lindsay, and visited both the Gilbert and Phoenix Arizona Temple construction sites.
As if all of that wasn't enough, we went to Roosevelt Lake, Roosevelt Dam, Roosevelt Bridge, Tortilla Flats for a cold Sarsaparilla, toured the Arizona State Capitol Building, saw a wind farm near Holbrook AZ, toured United Food Bank, visited Sweeties- the largest candy shop in AZ, played miniature golf at Castles and Coasters and played at Jumpstreet indoor trampoline park. Went to a Diamondbacks game against the Cleveland Indians, Dbacks lost 6-2...
Played the Wii, earned 6 Cub Scout Beltloops and 7 Cub Scout Pins. Attended the Bass Pro Shop Summer Camp which included archery and shooting. Built a pencil box and a tool box at Home Depot.
Survived the Haboub (dust storm) of July 5th, 2011.
Saw several movies at the theater including, Cars 2, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Shrek Forever, Alpha and Omega, Cats and Dogs, Yogi Bear and 17 Miracles.
Camped at Lake Ashurst, stayed at Little America Resort in Flagstaff, went swimming at Uncle Garry's, in Apache Lake, in the Salt River, at Stapley pool AND finished off the summer today swimming in Fossil Creek near Strawberry Arizona, which included some cliff jumping!
Here I am (Curtis) jumping of a rock about 15 feet above the water.

Splashdown!
Here's Shaw getting ready to leap from about a 7 foot rock. It's a beautiful bridge in the background too.
and he's IN the water!
Lesa and Shaw look like a couple of seasoned explorers here. Lesa is not a big fan of water activities so it's doubly cool that she's in the water here.
Finished off the day at home with a Family Home Evening lesson on the attributes of Christ that we are trying to better emulate and then took a walk across the street to Sonic for some treats. That's happiness!
