Havasupai

















We would like to thank the McNeils for watching the children, so Cliff and I could go on vacation. Thank you so much!! We cannot wait to repay the favor. Our dentist invited Cliff, Keri, Mom and Dad to go to Havasupai, what an awesome dentist! It is a natural spring in one of the deepest spots of the Grand Canyon. It is amazing. You look one way and it is like you are in Costa Rica in the rain forest you look the other way, and you are in the red cliffs of the grand canyon. It is a 10 mile hike to your camp, then you hike around to the various water falls and such for a few days. Then you have a 10 mile up hill hike out that starts at 4 am, so it is not to hot when you are done. We jumped off a 30-35 foot water fall, we swam in crystal clear pools, we swam behind waterfalls, and jumped through them, Keri fell face first down an 8 foot cliff, and we slept on hard, hard ground. We loved every moment of it, and cannot wait to take our boys back in 10 years. We had pack mules haul all the gear and food in. So you hike 50 miles in 5 days and gain 6 pounds... perfect vacation. Thanks for taking us Mom & Dad. It will be a memory forever!

What does one have to do to get their dentist to invite them on vacation? This seems shady...
