Rim to Rim to Rim..what a great hike!

We met the Thomas' at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and on a dark Saturday morning began our rim to rim to rim hike. It is about a 24 mile hike from the North to the South Rim. We started in the dark and finished in the dark. Along the way we saw Ribbon Falls, Phantom Ranch, The Colorado River, Indian Gardens. We finished the North to South with a nice big burrito. On Sunday we tried to recover from the difficult hike the day before. We went to the small LDS Branch (enjoyed the two hour block). Bob iced his knee 3 or 4 times and we just enjoyed the day in anticipation for the big hike back on Monday. We left monday morning and took a different route down to Phantom Ranch. We all seemed to be in good shape for the hike and made good time. We got out right as the sun went down. The Thomas' had reservations for us at the Grand Canyon Lodge restaurant. We enjoyed a nice meal then slept very well before we continued our vacation to visit Laura, Scott and the kids in California. Go to the Album and enjoy the pics.

South Africa and Ghana 2010

Well I never thought I would have the chance to go to Africa!. It was a great experience. In South Africa we di an operational reviw, went on a photo safari, ate ostrich and other weird things, shopped at the local markets and had a great time. Sandie is the HR Manager in South Africa. She was a great host and we loved the trip. We then flew up to Ghana to be with Lydia to do a Operational review. We had the opportunity to have a nice dinner with the expats serving in Ghana, go to the temple, shop at the "pit", visit the slave castle and sit in traffic for hours! The trips were productive and we had a great time. Enjoy the pics on the public album!
