This is what slack lining is!

I was the last member of the family to try slack lining. I LOVED it! It was so much fun and I'll have to ask the Elder's to bring it whenever they come for dinner! The elder helping me is from Pleasant Grove and knows are nephew Camaron!

Kelsey was the second to try and did really well. The elder helping her knows an elder that she knew in St. Lucia! Connections everywhere!!!

Rick was the first brave one from the family to try this new sport (to us!). He kept his shoes on which made it a little harder. The line is about 2 1/2 feet off of the ground and attached to two trees. It's all about balance!!!
This is our cousin Elder Kleinman with all of his cousins from Michigan! We have a common grandfather ~ Conrad Kleinman who is from Burkweiller, Germany.

Elder Cousin Kleinman

The elder's were over last night for dinner and we had Elder Kleinman's yummy Chipolte Chicken Quesadilla's. Afterwards Elder Kleinman asked if he could set up his slack line between the trees! We said sure and had a blast trying out this new adventure! It really was fun and a challenge! The elder's that were over are Elder Kleinman, Baker, Worthen and Anderson.

Here we come...Walking down the street...

Here we come, (lds elder's in Safford, AZ) walking down the street, get the funniest looks from everyone we meet! (if this sounds familiar and you are old enough to remember The Monkies, it will be familiar~or not!) Hey, hey we're the elder's....

Actually, at least one of them is one we know from Enumclaw! What are the chances that we would meet up with Elder Blain Thomas and his "new" companion from Canada ( his name starts with a R~sorry!) Those of you who know me, know that I can find anyone if I try. Well almost! Elder Thomas was all smiles and so happy being out in the hot Arizona sun! This ice cream store gave them their treats for free! We were going to buy them some but if the store is going to offer... why not?!

What a treat to see and spend a few minutes with the elder's in Safford, AZ! Elder Thomas is one happy boy and loving the work.

Arizona Birthday!

We spent my 49th birthday in Tucson! Really we were there for Cara to check out Eastern Arizona. A small college in Thatcher. Cara is learning to love the cacti that is everywhere in AZ!

Cara and her Dad! We stayed at the Omni Resort.

Tiptoe thru the snapdragons!
