DAYTRIP TO PAYSON & TONTO NATURAL BRIDGE STATE PARK

This weekend we had great weather and no soccer game, so we packed the kids into the car and drove 90 miles up north to Payson, AZ for some outdoor adventures in the mountains.

We took lots of pictures throughout the day and put some highlights below. The rest of the pictures are posted on our family "Flickr" account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/azsmithstuff/

Ballet Under the Stars & Soccer Action

Marley had another exciting weekend. Marley and her Mom went to "Ballet Under the Stars" on Friday night. It was a big girls night out. Marley then managed to roll out of bed on Saturday at the crack of dawn because the Jackrabbits had a 7:30 AM game. She had a huge game and scored lots of goals.



SOCCER - PART II

We added some pictures from Marley's soccer game this weekend.
