Hot Air Ballooning in Phoenix

This hot air balloon is the largest they fly in North America - the fabric would cover a football field, and it's eleven stories high!! We hit a top altitude of 7500 feet at a speed of about 10 miles per hour. Beautiful, calm and serene. Even when we looked over the edge...

Sundial in Carefree, AZ

Playing in the snow Mt Hood, OR

Alana and Madeline had a great time in the snow - we rolled around and made snow cupcakes with soft, fresh powder. It snowed at least a foot while we were there!
