Arizona family trip

We had an amazing trip to Arizona with our whole Andrews side of the family. The service for Papa was small and wonderful. We are so proud that we made it to this point-- after all of the court battles, Papa is resting forever right where he belongs- in Flagstaff and next to Granny. Pops and Aunt Deb worked so hard to get him there...thank you! I think that Granny and Papa were smiling down on us the whole weekend and were laughing right along with us!
Gracie laughing at Gramma's super sweet dance moves

Like niece, like Auntie

We were so lucky to visit with Norm's cousin Clay while in Phoenix. Charlee just loved him!

The stroller brigade...we were a force to be reckoned with!


The house Pops was born in which is now a historical monument in Flagstaff


The boys playing cards while the women tended to the children!

All wet after jumping into the water at Slide Rock

Slide Rock is so beautiful just outside Sedona in AZ. Pops and Aunt Deb used to go there as kids with Granny and Papa

The boys hanging with their daughters

Gracie intently learning about horses...she is a girl after her Aunt Becky's heart!

Aunt Jenny and Charlee in the car. Charlee fell asleep holding Jenny's hand

At Granny and Papa's final resting place

The four grandkids and Brian in his signature pose!


Gramma and Pops at the cemetery with the mountains in the background. These mountains are in a lot of Granny's paintings

Charlee's first plane ride!

Awake at the end of the flight


Norm had a great time with Ethan! He kept roughhousing with him and playing with his hair. This is a mohawk courtesy of Norm!

So sleepy on the car ride from Phoenix to Flagstaff

these pictures are awesome! I'm so glad you had such a nice trip. The one with Clay is great... now you know how I feel being the shortest one in a picture! Never thought that would happen for you!... :o)
