Havasupai

Norris and I just returned from a great trip to the Grand Canyon. We were able to take Sophia and Vanessa with us, which was a rare treat for us and them. We went with our dear friends Larry & Diana Bingham, Casey and Carly Bingham and made some wonderful new friends Mark & Shellie Reeve. We hiked down to the Havasupai Indian Reservation and saw some of the most beautiful waterfalls I have experienced. Wonderful friends, family and scenery! We will remember this trip as one of our favorites.

We are just starting out on our 8 mile hike to the village.

Vanessa & Sophia

Norris and his beautiful daughters!

Now, just the girls!

"GQ here I come"

It took us about 3 hours to arrive in the village.

Not quite The Montage, but it will do!

Our first sight of the most breathtaking water on earth.

I have never seen such turquoise water. This picture

does not do it justice!

After a swim we relaxed on Casey's rock!

The next day we set out for Mooney Falls & Havasu Falls.

The girls showing their strength!

Norris is feeling like the king of hill

(or at least king of that rock)

Over looking Havasu falls & pond! Gorgeous!!

Havasu Falls

To get to Mooney Falls we had to crawl through caves,

scale a 200 foot cliff . . . no problem, just don't look down.

We all made it down without injury! Totally worth it!

Here is our group from left to right:

Vanessa, Sophia, Norris, Tori, Shellie, Mark, Diana,

Casey (in back), Carly & Larry!

On our way out we met this darling Indian lady selling earrings

that she makes so us three girls each got a pair and

wore them on our hike out.

Vanessa & Sophie made a friend. No, they did not ride him out of the canyon.

Just about done!

Proud Tori is the first one out.
