Watch1) Our first view of the Grand Canyon! Erica sat on that ledge looking out at the mile-deep drop-off for several minutes. So glad we stopped there - can’t wait to go back. 2) Somewhere near the Arizona / California border, me joking about being “found with my knee-caps busted in the desert days from now” because I spilled redbull on the passenger seat. 3) Looking through the...

They are all laughing maniacally because they just finished covering my sister, Mandy, in hay. 2) Pulling away from the Ann Arbor uHaul with our trailer. 3) Xander giving Erica a huge hug and kiss before we leave for KY - it wasn’t easy to say goodbye that morning, we...

Watch1) Driving back to the farm-house and watching a sunset that looked fake the colors were so bright. It was no double rainbow, but it was close. 2) Looking through an old 4H scrapbook with Erica… we turned to a page that was over-flowing with the ribbons that Erica’s Grandmother won when she was just 16. Seeing all of it was a bit too much for Erica at the moment. 3) Playing Wii Fit...
