Our Grand Adventure Weekend

We decided to take a little weekend trip since I was done with school for the semester and we had stake conference. We looked at what was around us and decided on a visit to one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, The Grand Canyon. At let me tell you, it was Grand.

On the way up we saw a sign for "Bearizona", a drive through animal park. It just happened to be on the exit for the Grand Canyon, so we took the little detour to see if it was as good as the one we went through in Idaho. Ten minutes and 32 bucks later we found out that it was not as good, BUT it has the potential to be better. They are still adding to the park and when it's done it will be a lot bigger than the one in Idaho and a bit more classy too. And since we are classy people we like to go to classy places. The best part of both of these parks is the baby bear exhibit. Baby bears are our favorite thing in the world to watch. I love to watch them fight, it makes me want to go in there and wrestle with them. During the driving portion you are supposed to keep your windows rolled up in the Wolf and Bear sections. But since my wife is a rebel she rolled her window down to get a good picture of a sleeping bear. She almost got eaten....

Here are some pictures.

After we saw the Bearizona bears, we headed to the Grand Canyon. We checked into our beautiful campsite and then drove to the visitors center. From there we took a nice hike along the South rim. We had some fun testing our fear of heights by climbing out on the outcroppings and looking over the edge. When I was taking a picture of Melanie sitting on the edge some guys walked behind me and saw her out there and said in amazement "nope, not me". After our hike we drove along the rim going to all the viewpoints on the way to the Watchtower to see which would be best for sunset pictures. The Watchtower itself was fun to go up in. they have it decorated with Native American art on the inside. You go up 4 flights of stairs to get to the top observatory point where you get a great view of the canyon but it very hot up there, so we didn't stay long. We then went back to Navajo point to get some sunset pictures before heading back to camp.

That's about it for our weekend. Next up - California!!!!!

Fun Stuff going on....

The usual has been happening in the life of the Drury's work/school. I know it's exciting... but it keeps us busy and keeps us out of trouble. My Cousin got his eagle this last month, my grandma and grandpa and some of my aunts and uncles came over to beautiful AZ to celebrate his accomplishment. It was fun to see them, lets just say it was a busy weekend full of shopping/laughing and of course eating..... :) On saturday night we went to Rawhide, I'm a little embarrassed to say I have been there 3 times this year and each time it's with someone different. Tom and I really need to look up fun things to do in AZ other than Rawhide. But it was still fun and everyone always seems to have a good time.




The following weekend was Easter. I have two favorite things about Easter, of course it's about Christ who I am truely greatful for but food wise...lol, the peanut butter reese's eggs and deviled eggs. It's something I look forward too every year, they are sooooooo delicous. But to back up a little earlier before easter sunday, I had a car accident on the freeway. Sooooo with that being said I no longer have my Hyundai Sonata, I was so sad, it was my first car that I paid all by myself and plus I needed it to last until Tom finished school. Well things don't always work out the way you want it too, which means time to move foward and just be greatful I wasn't hurt. Easter weekend, the Easter bunny bought me a PT Cruiser, HAPPY EASTER TO ME!!!! What I really wanted was the brand new Hyundai Sonata, they are beautiful, oh well that will be my next car...;) One more thing also happen earlier that week, Tom and I celebrated our 4th annerversry, that's right you read it right 4 YEARS. Crazy I know, we went to a new resuraunt called Chino Bandito, they make chinese food and turn it into Mexican food. It was different but good. So overall the month of April has been good to us. Until next time....
