New Year 2013

We stayed at home with Luca to celebrate the New Year. We went by New York time so it would be only 10 pm our time.

Christmas 2012

Took this picture after having lunch at our local Mexican restaurant.

Slide Rock State Park, Arizona

 A fun day with Alexis and Luca at the Slide Rock State Park, located a few miles north of Sedona on Highway 89A. On a hot summer day the cool waters of the Oak Creek are a welcome way to beat the 100F degree temperatures Popular are the slick rocks, allowing sliding down the swift narrow channels.,

  Alexis even jumped off the steep cliff in a pocket of deep water.

Above, see Opa sliding down with Luca.


See a video below, Alexis is the second jumper.

We finished the day with a short picnic

On Herman's Birthday we all met at a Mexican restaurant
