FAMILY Vacation

The last week in July we took the whole FAMILY to Show Low for a little High Country Vacation where we rented a beautiful Cabin in the community of Torreon.

It looked like this on the way there. There was a torrential downpour just outside of Heber. It was an amazing Storm.








And it looked like this on the way home. Again, just outside of Heber. The fog was so thick you couldn't really see anything in front of you, and it was hard to know which way to go without looking toward the person in front who had gone before.





But once there, we all had an amazing, wonderful FAMILY Vacation, eating, playing games, power walking, golfing, eating, enjoying each other's company, a little Zumba workout for the girls and did I mention eating?



Cousins got to know each other.







There was Horseback riding. . . . . . . .






And Horseback sliding . . . . . . . .







And wooden horse riding.
































And Cheesy Grins





And I'm not sure what your family does on vacation. . . . . . . but we go to Walmart, and make cars out of boxes.







I loved cooling my heels on the back porch after a powerwalk on a bike trail near the golf course.




We went out to dinner at Charlie Clark's. .. . . . . .































(Frank must have just seen the bill)







And decorated Sugar Cookies for dessert eating.









All in all we all had an amazing FAMILY Vacation! My mother-in-law has a saying that "fish and relatives are the same, after three days they both start to stink". But as my daughter so aptly put it, "the fish never stank"! (Is stank even a word?) None of us were ready to go home, we wanted to stay for many more days. I am so blessed to have such an amazing FAMILY.




And because we chose to be married here,





This FAMILY is sealed together for Eternity.




And I hope that they all remember that sometimes there will be Storms you have to go through, and sometimes there may be Fog that obscures your path, and you might not know exactly which way to go, but if you look to those who have gone before and follow them, you will always find your way back home. And then our FAMILY will be on the most amazing Vacation ever!
