Things heated up unusually early this year here in the Phoenix area, but we were able to enjoy a visit from Janelle's parents during a wonderful, brief reprieve from the early heat. We took advantage of it one day by heading up to nearby Canyon Lake, a man-made natural area created by dams on the Salt River. We threw in our cheap (but fun!) little inflatable kayak so we could do a little exploring. We've only been up to this lake a few times, but it is always a lot of fun! The winding road through the foothills surrounding the Superstition Mountains is part of the fun with great vistas and some very cool rock formations. And, of course, no trip home from the lake is complete without a quick stop at the Goldfield Ghost Town. Come visit us sometime. We'd love to show you around and have another excuse for some Arizona fun!

Perhaps this could have been theirs had they been born a 100 years earlier!
