Catching up on 2008 ... continued

April ~ May 2008 "OUR ROAD TRIP"
We went to Moab, Utah for the 16th Annual April Action Car Show. We go to enjoy the show and spend time with our friends, the Martins and Stams. The Martins have "classic" cars and display them at the show. It is fun to sit with them at the show and visit between our strolls throughout the park. The show is held at a big park and the cars are fun to look at. At night the cars go up and down main street and that is also fun to see. It was fun to have Rusty with us on this portion of our road trip.

After a few days in Moab we left for Kingman, Arizona. We just spent the night there and then ventured on to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. On our way we did some Geo caching ~ quite fun!! The desert flowers were beautiful. Yes we went out on the "Glass Bridge". No we weren't scared and the view was amazing.

Then onward to Las Vegas. Enroute we stopped at the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. The Dam is such a powerful structure. Years ago we took Craig and Rusty on a tour through the Dam. There is new construction going on and no tours were available this trip.

We arrived in Las Vegas and stayed at the Excalibur for two nights. We had an awesome view of the strip. Nothing like Vegas....all the glitz and glamour. Craig, Heather, Madi, Harley and Miss Olivia arrived the next day. Grandma watched a movie with the girls while Bob, Craig and Heather went and played. We had a great time!!

We left Las Vegas in the morning for DISNEYLAND!!!! We arrived in Anaheim. What a great experience ~ Harley danced with her dance group "HIP" in Disneyland. We are so proud of you Har Har. Great Aunt Sandy and cousin Emilie came to see her perform and then we had dinner together. Sandy was in dance for years and she was impressed with Harley's perfomance too. She did a great job!

Harley you amaze us with your talent!!!!
