Hee Hee, ya right! They thought it was cool to through rocks in! needless to say, Trever and I had our hands full trying to keep the two older boys from doing a "Peter Pan" right off the side of the canyon, and keeping Brooks happy and content. We stayed the night in Flagstaff, Porter and Tate's first experience in a Hotel Room, they were thrilled at the idea of taking a shower for as long as they wanted, and leaving their towels on the floor of the bathroom. (There really was a maid, not just me) We rapped up our little holiday with a visit to Grandma Reda and Papa HP's. We were home in time to lay sod in the backyard on Monday before Trev had to go back to work Tuesday. All in all, we had a lovely time, and now Porter has his answer to the impending question when he goes back to school... "Where did you go for your summer vacation?" He can hold his head up high and say,... "Holbrook!"

We should have just called it good then, between the dinosaur statues and the wigwams the boys were totally impressed with the place! So after some reassurance that we were off to bigger and better things they agreed to continue with us on our little adventure. When we finally got to the canyon they were pretty impressed with the hole in the ground. They stood there in awed silence, overwhelmed with it's beauty...
