From the plane on the way down:
It was weird to see kids just walking to what appeared to be nowhere. We kept forgetting that it was the middle of the week and these kids were going to school (which happens to be on the other side of this hill.
One of the many "gated" communities in Maricopa. It would be really easy to get lost if you didn't know the area at all.
Going into Old Maricopa...A beautiful little place, if you can appreciate rustic/authentic buildings. I wasn't able to take many good pictures of Old Maricopa...we drove too fast through it. It's basically behind the trees.
More pictures from the area:
On the way to Casa Grande, which is just south-east of Maricopa. We went shopping here on our first day. They have some big box stores, kind of like an outlet mall, but not really...
This was in Casa Grande. I got a kick out of the name of this liquor store. Pinal Liquors. I think it would be a perfect name for a certain type of bar...not that there's anything wrong with that.
Coming back to Maricopa from Casa Grande:
We were trying to get a good group shot of us all, that started out too far away, then as we got closer, the pictures just got worse...Not so easy when you're in a pool and using a 10 second timer. The last one, we were all supposed to do something weird...apparently Dad tried, and I went all out.
More pictures from the pool:
Here is our first trip into Phoenix...it was interesting, to say the least. We went to Ikea, and then stopped at Savers, which is the American counterpart to Value Village.
These pictures were taken on our way to Canyon Lake and the Dolly Steamboat:
We don't have many pictures of us all together or all as couples, so we made up for it on this trip.
We got to the Dolly Steamboat pretty early, so we stopped in at the restaurant right beside it and Dad and Geoff had all-you-can-eat pickerel.
The Dolly Steamboat:
The boat took us around Canyon Lake and we got some pretty good shots:

Nice pics!! Too bad Schultz didn't smile in any of them...
My favorite is "We don't have many pictures of us all together or all as couples, so we made up for it on this trip. "
And there's some nice couple pics, and then one of Ryan by himself. Ha ha loner!
