Phoenix Phun

It has been about a month since I got home from Phoenix, so I think it's about time I posted pictures of it. I'll try not to be redundant with them. (I only took pictures on about three of the days I was there... my sister took the rest and hasn't sent me any yet.)
Our schedule there was this: wake up early, eat breakfast, go to the gym. Come back and go shopping with Uncle Phil and Auntie Gladie all morning. Come back for lunch. Hang out at the pool all afternoon. Come back for supper. Go to a miscalaneous production of some sort (Morman Easter play, Good Life drama crew, Organ Pizza, IMAX). Come back and have snacks and play either Mexican Train, Beans or Skipbo until late. What a life. It took me until... about last week to adjust to real life with responsibilities and no hot sunshine.





My sister and I with our IMAX glasses... we learned how to save the Colorado river... too bad we don't live there to implement all that we learned about water conservation in the desert



Uncle Phil, Auntie Gladie and Chantelle in front of a ginormous cactus (that looks like it's really hungry)



our clever posing technique to avoid the 30 degree sun from burning our retinas




we were definitely in the desert... as a kid from Saskatchewan, I just don't see cactus and Joshua Trees every day





I sat on a cactus... for real. I didn't mean to, but I kinda fell over when my sister took this picture (unrelated to the hole in my shorts...)




Grand Canyon!! We finally made it... but only after starting the world's longest game of Bingo, or in Auntie Gladie's words, Treasure Hunt. They need to make more red BMW's.









I liked to sit/ stand right on the edge of the Canyon... but I had to quit because I didn't want to be responsible for any heart attacks...



We are sisters ^_^
