Vacation Part 3 - Arizona

immediately upon leaving bishop we were in the car headed to arizona. it was the first time we had driven this route and boy, was it a doozy! i know there are longer car rides, but this one seemed sooo long! i think we were driving for nearly 12 hours. and for me, a person who is NOT a fan of roadtrips, this was not an ideal situation!

anyway, once we got to az, we celebrated the 4th, and then we headed up to greer,az with (almost) the entire schumacher side of the family. it was a very nice time and many of us would like to make this a family tradition every summer.

i was lame and didn't take hardly ANY pics...so stupid! this pic is from a bike ride we took with two of my cousins, camra & samantha, and erin and donny (cam too). it was fun, but again i say, not the easiest when you are preggo - it's just so much harder to breathe!
this is a side-of-the-road couple pic. aww...aren't we cute?!

my sis and i - forgive my huge abdomen.

last but certainly not least...this is probably the gem of all gems when it comes to pictures. after we got back from greer, we were able to hang with my brother (who was not able to get off work to come to the cabin). my bro got to telling a story about one time when he tasted the drink "clamato." to sum it up, he thought it was the most vile thing to ever cross his lips. (i don't blame him. just the thought: clam juice + tomto juice = BARF!) anywho...i opened my big fat mouth and said, "you guys should have a clamato drinking contest." because my bro vowed to never drink the stuff again, he changed the contest to be: if cam drank 64 oz. of clamato within a certain time frame then adam would by cameron and i dinner. game on! cameron pulled through without barfing and we got a free dinner. the extra cool thing is that erin and donny came along AND we went to a sushi place that had CHICKEN sushi! i could actually eat it! i was so pumped! i have missed sushi so much! but i digress...

this pic is clearly BEFORE the clamato conusmption began. notice the non-barfy look on cameron's face and the "sucker!" look on adam's face.
