7 Down...

That's right.  We've been married for 7 whole years!  That's a long time.  I could have gone to college twice by now.  Yikes!  But anyway, our anniversary was TOTALLY AWESOME this year!  Jeff planned  a surprise trip, right down to the babysitting (yes!!!) all by himself!  And I had no clue where we were going until we started shopping for tevas, ponchos, headlamps, and waterbottles!  What the heck?  I was kind of thinking the carribean or something before, but no.  Oooooh no.  Instead we flew into Phoenix, rented a Jeep (just to make it legit), and drove 4 hours to the end of the Grand Canyon, where we met our personal guide and hiking groupies at this little gem of a motel.....

And don't worry, sleeping in 'til 5:30 turned out to be a luxury on this trip!  Ha!  But it was seriously worth it.  We woke up and drove another hour to the trailhead of Havasupai and hiked down for the next 6 or 7ish hours!  By the end of the day we all had wet towels or t-shirts wrapped around our heads to keep us cool.  Luckily we had mules carrying our equipment down or I might have passed out! 

Naaaature!  Goo-lay!

Jeff boosting off a big one!

Havasu Falls

Day 2 was spent climbing down cliffs, through tunnels and chains, hiking in the river, jumping off waterfalls, and swinging on rope swings.  Good times, great oldies.

On our way out after waking up a 3:30 a.m.  The Best Western never looked so good!
