Vacation is so good for the soul

In case you've been wondering where I disappeared to, the family and I took off to the desert for a week. Mom and Dad flew the crew to Phoenix where their dream home is. I took an extra day off yesterday hoping to get things together around the house, but instead I spent most of the day downloading the 200 pictures I took with my new digital SLR that Dad gave me. Took this beauty from Mom and Dad's backyard.
