Softball Season Notes


Glory Daze, the women's softball team I've been managing and playing on this season, finished 2nd a 12 - 4 record. We did really well and I'm proud of the the team. Anyway we made a run at the Undefeated champion and hung strong with them all the way going into the 7th inning down 4 to 6. The team played their hardest but fell a little short of advancing to the next round. Oh well, we'll be back for next year.
GO GLORY DAZE!!!

Here are a few pictures of the faithful one who hung out after out game. I 've a few more but will have to post those on our team website.






GO GLORY DAZE!!!

Below the Rim

Our biggest adventure was taking a helicopter down to the Havasupai Indian Reservation on the bottom of the canyon and hiking to Havasu and Mooney Falls. We were several thousand feet below the rim of the Grand Canyon and the views were spectacular. We landed in Supai which is only accessible by an eight mile hike through the desert, riding a mule or taking a helicopter. Once we landed it was another 2 miles down to Havasu Falls. This is a picture of the first view we had of the falls.

This is a picture once we reached the bottom.

Mom rode a horse down to Havasu Falls while Bev and I hiked the two miles. This a picture when we met up a the bottom.

Mooney Falls was another mile past Havasu Falls and to get to it required going through 2 caves and some narrow cliffs. Needless to say Mom didn't like the heights and Bev didn't feel like crawling through the caves. Here is a picture of the 1st cave.


This is a picture of Mooney Falls from the bottom of the 1st cave. Notice the chains bolted into the cliff. I gets quite steep and those are needed to navigate your way but it was worth it for the view.


Mooney Falls is taller than Niagra Falls. More pictures later about our below the rim adventures or you can look at the Havasu Canyon pictures on my photo parade website at http://just4fun21.photoparade.com/

Excellent Arizona Adventure 2006

I've been wanting to add some more about the trip Mom and I took to Arizona but there are so many pictures, I wanted to get them organized on my new photo website. You can browse my pictures and download full sized copies from this address. http://just4fun21.photoparade.com/

Here are some pictures of the highlights on our trip. As mentioned below we took a sunrise balloon flight in Sedona which was awesome. Here is a picture of inflating the balloon. I thought the glow inside the balloon while they were inflating was really cool.



From Sedona we headed North to the Grand Canyon where Bev and I had a great time climbing on the rocks.



Come on Bev you can make it.


Whew, I made it to the top.

Three explorers on the south rim of the canyon.

Halloween Weekend

I got to have some fun this past weekend with my wild -n- crazy friends. Friday night Tracy, Mark, Russ and I went out to dinner then went bowling.
Say cheese!

Tracy, Mark, Russ and I had a good time bowling.


Saturday after Amanda and I went furniture shopping we met up with Trisha and had an enjoyable dinner.

Welcome Baby Noah

I'm sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. I've been so busy trying to catch up from being on vacation. Work has been extremely busy since I got back. I hope to finally get caught up on things this weekend. I have done a few fun things the past few weeks. One Sunday Mark, Tracy and I went over and visited Anthony's growing family. Here are some pictures of little Noah.
