A Little Girl Gets Her Wish – Her Own Pig
Over fifteen years ago we went to our first 4-H club meeting and Seth joined the swine group for his first market project. And now my baby girl Audrey has reached the age required by 4-H to show and sale an animal. She’s been eagerly anticipating this year because she would now be old enough to raise a pig herself. Last year, nabbing every chance she could, Audrey walked Serenity’s pig and learned how to train it to go in the direction she wanted. But now it’s her turn to have her very own pig. And it’s even better when you and your brother are doing the same…

Our Havasupai Hike – Day 3
After walking in to Havasupai and enjoying the beautiful sights it had to offer, it was time to leave.

(And if you didn’t get to read about Day 1 of our hike down into this part of the Grand Canyon, you can here.)

We started off the morning with breakfast in the courtyard, again eating whatever each individual decided to pack along with them. My brother-in-law who knows no stranger invited one of the Natives to come have breakfast with us. Jasper was his name and he…

Our Havasupai Hike – Day 1
Every step, every mile we hiked was worth it. What amazing and stunning views were beheld. Words and pictures cannot capture the pure beauty of it all. And what a wonderful time to be with family and friends. It was mostly families that went which I appreciate. I love seeing families do things together and this was an experience that I was thrilled we could do with our children. We were shocked at the amount of cars at the top. We were not expecting so many. There are a limited number of hikers allowed into the canyon at any one time and I had been under the impression that it…
