Today's Hail Storm

Our weather was so unusual today. A hail storm one minute and, literally, the next sunshine!

Crown King

A week ago, the three of us decided to venture up to Crown King. Emma, Nicole's friend, raved about what a great place it was. She left off some important details though. It only took us about 30 minutes to reach the exit on I-17. But it took 2 hours of dirt road to get there. You can see how rugged the road is in some of these video clips. We didn't think it was going to be an all day trip.

This is a great destination for dirt bikes and quads. Which we didn't bring up. Good thing we had the Tahoe The town, itself, is nothing to write home about. Apparently, we didn't go the next 8 miles, past the town, where a scenic lake is. We stayed for about 15 minutes and headed back home. Thankfully, we found a new route and that dirt road was only 1 1/2 hours.

AZ Region Junior Girls Club Volleyball Championship

After Nicole's City league game today, her and I ventured down to Grand Canyon University on Cambelback west of I-17 to watch part of the AZ Region Junior Girls Club Volleyball Championship. The players at this location were 17 and 18 years old. If anyone is interested in getting their daughter inspired by the sport of volleyball or challenged to beef up their skills, take a field trip to one of these club events, it was truly amazing and awesome to watch.
