back in sunny southern california!

well, actually i returned yesterday; i went to surprise my friend for her birthday, where i was forced to sing karaoke. rather badly i might add...fun stuff though! anywho, i didn't get home until 11:30, so i bet you all are just dying to see some pictures of my trip! well, your in luck; i wont keep you in suspense any longer. :) just be prepared for like the longest post ever to be posted.

okay, artsy photos first then the crazy stuff! :)

click on them to make them bigger!

i really liked just walking around taking pictures...fun fun! :)

yeah for depth of field cacti picture! :)

yes, as you can see we all really enjoyed the scenic drive around arizona. this was probably the only part of the ride when i had my ipod to myself. you see katie enjoyed playing with my ipod and then giving me her toy elmo phone to play with. :)

i did especially enjoy climbing rocks though...fun fun! :)

i also have discovered only in arizona do they call them "bucks coffee" instead of "starbucks". just kidding the lights were just out...i thought it was fitting though.

wagon wheel benches are cool!

this was on the way to williams, arizona from scottsdale right before we stopped in sedona.

wow, what am i doing? i look kinda sinister....or like i'm scolding someone.

my step sister and i never take good pictures together...we just don't.

these aren't staged that way. i promise.

here is me and my indian buddy at some cool store in sedona.

so i'm not even to the grand canyon pictures yet so i think i will post those later if you don't mind. you know break it up a bit. :)

adios for now! :)
