After church on Sunday we took a little drive up to the Morenci/Clifton area. Dave works up there almost every day and I wanted to understand better what he does and sees.

What a fun day!!
I LOVE the look on Carson's face- too cute!
I have pictures of all of us cousins at that very same jail when we went on a tour of the mine last time we were all together - like 1991 or something. It is a spooky jail and I would hate to have been locked in there! Sounds like a great day!

Okay, I have a lot of catching up to do, I just found your blog on my sister Jamie's blog. It's fun to see all your cute kids!
