Sowards Family Vacation

I wish I had more picture from the weekend. I didn't get out my camera.
These photos of my daughters were taken by my brother with his awesome camera.

These girls are just so cute and are natural hams in front of a camera.

This creepy wood guy was on the outside of the cabin we were staying in, looking inside the cabin- it was just creepy.

Fort Yuma is probably the hottest place on earth. The thermometer stays at one hundred and twenty in the shade there all the time - except when it varies and goes higher.

The Grand Canyon is carven deep by the master hand; it is the gulf of silence, widened in the desert; it is all time inscribing the naked rock; it is the book of earth. ~Donald Culross Peattie, The Road of a Naturalist, 1941

You know you're an Arizona native when... a rainy day puts you in a good mood. ~Marshall Trimble, quoted in You Know You're an Arizona Native, When... compiled by Don Dedera, 1993
