We are enjoying hiking in Sedona. Today is the last day. We'll be back soon! Here are some pics. 0f our trip! :)

We spent Thanksgiving in Arizona with a friend and his family. We saw some cool cacti that actually looked like the cacti that people think of when people think of cacti. These cacti are not the most common cacti, as some people would believe. We have not seen very many at all.

Spent Saturday at the Grand Canyon! It was cold and the wind was crisp. The day was clear and we could see the Canyon clearly with very few air pollutants clogging up the beautiful view.

The Zoo

We went to the zoo a week or two ago. Holly won a coupon from the library for the zoo, and she got in free, and half price for Lloyd and a friend from the conference, Jim. Lloyd took Jim to lunch earlier on and he bought Lloyds' and his tickets. Jim is 73, or older, and a buddhist. We saw many different kinds of birds, gorillas, a tiger, a hippo, two alligators, flamingoes, orangutans, monkeys, a peacock and peahen, a huge family of wild hogs, then we went home for dinner and to drop Jim off. We went back after dinner, and saw a gigantic snake, a hedgehog, and something that looked like a hedgehog but wasn't, a giant lizard, which is called 'the Komadora dragon, koala bears, something that looked like a joey, (baby kangaroo) giraffes, rhinos, elephants, llamas, two lions, male and female, play fighting, a fox that looked more like a dog then anything else, eagles, and a panda.

Califonia!

Lloyd and Holly are successfully installed in California. We headed to the beach twice last week, first time we got wetter then expected! Second time wasn't as great. Went there early evening, as high tide was coming in. Shadowed by a cliff, we made camp on the highest ground to be found, five inches above everywhere else. Holly stood on some rocks, with a friend, Lloyd went for a walk, when suddenly, a gigantic, fluke wave tried to steal our stuff! Holly yelled at our friend; Sarah Jane, "your bag! Your bag!" And both, unintentionally, got wet again! Sarah Jane, a fellow Aristotilion, wrote on her facebook page; Aristotle floated like a witch! Lloyd, who was returning from his walk, cried "where are the keys? Where is my cell?" Luckily for her, after Holly's watch was stolen, it was returned, with the next wave. Searched for the keys, but, to late! Lucky us, Holly forgot her cell at the house, so we still have it. Dinner, two margaritas, two hours, and five failed attempts at making keys later, we were able to get into the car! The house was a different matter. Holly squeezed through a tight window and unlocked the door. Broke into the landryroom the same way. Had to change locks on the mailbox though, and we all have a key now!!! Let this be a lesson for you all!

Hope you enjoyed reading about this adventure, keep posted for more!

Let's hope that they aren't as difficult as that one was to get to you!

The Grand Canyon

June 17, we visited the Grand Canyon, on our way to our friend's house, where we are spending the night on our way to California. We walked down the Grand Canyon, part way, because we were running out of time, but we think you can walk all the way down to the bottom! We are going to enjoy a fun day today, before we drive six miles to San Diego tomorrow. We are enjoying ourselves, and hope that you enjoy our pictures, as much as we enjoyed the Grand Canyon!
