Today started out bright and early at 3:30 this morning. Ashton's mission buddy, Woodard and his wife (Woodard is his last name. It's just what we call him) visited us. Now Woodard lives in Provo and we were hoping to see them when we went through Provo. Ashton got a hold of him and found out they were headed to Phoenix! Well, they passed right through Campe Verde, which is where we were staying the night, and stopped and said hi. We met at Dennys that was right across the parking lot for us. It was fun. We spent a couple of hours with them in Dennys and then they headed back to Phoenix. What are the odds of that happening? It was good to see them and to know that they are doing great. After our 3:30 extravaganza, we headed to the Grand Canyon. We drove through Sedona. It's a town a lot like Jackson Hole. It is surrounded by a lot of red rock and many of the buildings were built out of it. It was really pretty. The next town we went through was Flagstaff. The drive there was so pretty. The leaves were turning, there was forest everywhere, and beautiful red rock. Here are some pictures of our drive... 
Then through Flagstaff we caught part of Route 66. Ashton was really excited. This stretch wasn't that exciting though. Our next stop was the GRAND CANYON!!! It is absolutely amazing and it is huge!Also at the Grand Canyon there were some ruins. They are called the Tusayan Ruins. They were pretty neat...
We've had a lot of fun so far and tomorrow we are playing in Page, AZ and Lake Powell. Thanks for checking in!
