The Grrrrrrand Resort!

Dan works for a really great company. Every year Frito lay hosts a big party for the drivers at the Arizona Grand Resort. We get to stay overnight with the whole family and enjoy a fancy banquet at the Rustlers Roost. They hand out the yearly awards and safety bonuses as well. Dan was in the top 4 for unloading the most cases. Most people don't know how physical Dan's job is. Picture those really long semi trucks. He might unload 3 or 4 of those in one day! So far he has booked 85,000 miles with Frito Lay in Arizona, they didn't count his hours in Canada! The resort has a big waterpark complete with waterslides and tube rides down the lazy river. The weather was A plus as usual. This is our second year coming here. Here are some pictures.




This amazing water structure was just huge, the picture does no justice.



This isn't as fun as it looks ...... really.............. :) Palm trees, 85 degrees, tubing down a nice peaceful river...


We know, we know we are geeks beyond measure. Every time we go on vacation we break out the all the hawaiian gear. I don't know why we do that, we love holidays and wearing hula shirts just makes us feel fantastic. The great thing is Phoenix is similar to Hawaii in some ways and thats why we love it!! You can laugh, we won't care!



Dan's birthday was also last weekend. He wanted me to make grasshopper pie and enchiladas just like his mom makes. So I did. Lucky guy I spent the entire day cooking! He is worth it, Dan is a extraordinary husband and father, he is constantly making sacrifices for us and we are so grateful to him. The grasshopper pie was so good we decided to make 2 more!
