Arizona Trip part. 2!

Saturday: Saturday we worked until lunch on cleaning out the garage and doing other stuff. After lunch we got to go horseback riding! actaully..i rode the donkey..lol Justanne! she was really slow and i couldnt get her to trot! i kept kicking her really hard and she still wouldnt trot! it was still fun though! Then at supper everyone at the ranch came for dinner...then after dinner we played sardines and ghost in the graveyard! Sardines was SOOO much fun! we played 3 games of it..and at the end of each game everyone ended up in the back of  the pickup! the first game someone hid there, the second game we counted in the truck while Dylan went and hid. then went to find him...he had apperantly layed down in front of the truck until everyone left and then jumped in the bed of the truck...lol! then the 3rd game emily hid in the garage until everyone found her except cam! then we snuck to the truck to wait...cam FINALLY found is and it was REALLY funny! it was really scary playing sardines cause i was afraid i was going to step on a rattlesnake! it was REALLY dark!! but...i never saw a rattlesnake the whole week we were there :/ it would have been cool to! but..i didnt want to step on one!

me and Justanne!

Sunday: Sunday morning we went to their church. then after lunch we went to the Chiricahua Mountains! That was the best part of the week! we had SOOO much fun!! Emily, Mr. B., Cam and i didnt stay on the trails..lol we went exploring and climbed a bunch of huge rocks!! then we drove up to the top of the mountain and watched the sunset! it was REALLY beautiful! Emily, Mr. B, Cam and i climbed up on a huge awesome rock to watch it! it was kinda scary getting down though! on the way home from the mountains we watched a lightning storm! it was really cool!

 hahaha! me

Monday: MOnday we worked on filling in the ditches where the water lines were. and then we got to stucco part of the snake wall! that was fun..and messy! i kept getting cement all over my legs! but..it came off thankfully! In the afternoon we went to Tombstone! its a town that is "to tough to die" it was started in the 1800's and is now just  tourist trap with lots of stores with cowboy stuff in it! but we had lots of fun there! 

Tuesday: Tuesday we cleaned up the bunk rooms we had stayed in..when i say "we" i really mean, Mrs. P. Mrs. C. Tracy and I..lol i cleaned out the boys bathroom...gross! lol. In the afternoon BreeAnne took Mr. B. Emily, Cam and i to ride horses again! :) we had just gotten the horses brushed when it started to thunder and lightning and rain! so we had to put them back! but after an hour or so it stopped so we could go ride! i rode a horse that time! i actaully liked riding justanne better than Amy...Amy the horse doesnt like any of the other horses! so i had to keep her away from everyone elses horses! but it was fun :) Then we went to bible study...and then we left for Phoenix.. :/ i was sad to go. we got to a hotel a little after midnight..we had wanted to go swimming but the pool closed at midnight! :( 

Wednesday: i got to sleep by 1:30 and got up at 5:30. and all 8 of us left for the airport in a shuttle..it was hard to leave Jake, Tracy Anna and Levi again...but we get to see them in Michigan when they come back in december! THe flight to chicago was long... when we got to chicago we had a 3 hour layover..which wasnt that bad. we went to find fooD! :D they had LOTS of restaurants at ohare! i got a pizza, a frutopia and an icecream cone. My dad told me he wanted me to bring home things like a lizard from AZ! but..that would be kinda hard! so..at tombstone i bought him a scorpion sucker(totally edible) and some rattlesnake eggs! they arent really rattlesnake eggs, there's this thing you set and you put it in the package that says rattlesnake eggs, and when you open it it sounds kinda like a rattlesnake..it scared him..lol! i got my mom some Garrets carmel popcorn! she LOVES Garrets. its this really nice popcorn store in chicago and when my parents lived in chicago they always got it! so she was really suprised and happy when i gave it  to her! 

now im just back to the daily grind...Arizona was so amazing. God's creation is beautiful! and just being with other christians at the ranch for a whole week was AWESOME!  Arizona Sunset from the Chiricahua Mountains!
