On August 13-15 Dustin, Jera, Shelby and I took a trip with friends down to Havasupai. It was my third time, Dustin's second, and Jera and Shelby's first time. We drove on Thursday after work and slept in the car, for an early hike on Friday morning. Shelby did awesome! She didn't cry during the 10 mile hike to the camp grounds and she even took naps when she was tired. Once we got there she continued to prove she can hike and camp with the best of us. I could tell by some of the looks we got that people thought we were crazy to bring a baby, but she did so good. I had a hard time with the hike - I forget how bad my knees are. I think that will be the time I go. It was beautiful and it was a great experience though!

Finally getting to the village...only a few more miles to go!
Dustin standing by the "new" falls (this wasn't visible before the flood last year). There was a lot of mud and the falls seems so much smaller. The campgrounds didn't have all the trees either. It was still beautiful, but I have to admit it wasn't near as breathtaking as the first time I went.

Hiking down to Mooney Falls. This was one of the scariest moments of my life. My flip flops didn't have traction and it was steep and slippery. There were moments when I had to hold onto chains so I wouldn't fall. But what was even scarier was the thought of something happening to Dustin and Shelby. They were right behind me. We made it though and had a great time.

At the place Dustin proposed to me 4 years ago! It was beautiful. This was one of my favorite moments of the trip.
