Arizona...

Our next stop was Phoenix Arizona but passed thru New Mexico on the way.




This sign was at one of the rest stops in New Mexico.


A few nerd moments...I haven't seen gas this cheap in probably a year. Had to take a picture. It was in a po-dunk town somewhere between New Mexico and Arizona.




There was about a 5 mile stretch were there were millions of these cactus'. Really neat.


One of our stops in Arizona was The Old Tucson Studios. I guess some old Western Movies had been filmed here (Three Amigos) and they have added some rides for the kids. Worst day ever for the kids. We got in the car afterwards and the thermometer read 108 degrees...HOOOOTTT!


Kev and Kay on the Antique car ride.


On the train around the park.


Kevin loves these shooting ranges. And the kids were so into it and would get excited for him every time he hit something.


The kids on the carousel.

on the carousel.




Kevin put us all in jail. It took a lot to get Kooper in there...he doesn't mess around when it comes to unsure things.


The kids said it was daddy's turn. Look at that puppy frown:(


We slept in Phoenix and drove to Flagstaff Arizona today. I have to say that the drive between Phoenix and Flagstaff is amazing! First the temperature changed from 112 degrees to 84 degrees. And second its crazy how quickly the scenery changes from dirt and rolling hills to cactus and small mountains to rocks, real mountains and pine trees. Amazing!!

We'll be here for the night and will drive to the Grand Canyon tomorrow for two days. On Sunday night we'll be in Las Vegas and then off to Salt Lake.
