Crossing the warm Desert

It really happened. The Russell family tripped through Nevada and Arizona in Tara’s 1963 Impala. I had my doubts but the 50 year old Chevy made the trip to Ft Huachuca Arizona.   

We spent one night in Vegas. We stayed at the Excalibur and burnt through a little cash.

We spent another day in Laughlin. Burnt through some more cash.

I could get used to this.

Blaine and Dawn shared the ride with us at Vegas. We played 60's music on the way to Arizona.

Truck ads.

Finally Chandler, where we picked up Brad for the trip to Ft. Huachuca.

Grandma's and Granddaughters.

We built a summer play area in Tara's back yard. 

There is no grass to speak of in her back yard. This was a welcome site for the kids.

Val making preparations to fly out of Phoenix to Milwaukee to see two more of her grandchildren (Makinze & Valerie).

Amir at school (Recyclable Sculpture Day).

We helped him build Godzilla.

I had no clue this came in gallon jugs.
