Sorry for the formatting

Blogger merged with Google and in the transfer many of our posts have been reformatted and are a bit messy. We are working on fixing it all up.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Katie!

Katie got to go on a helicopter tour of a large area that the City is annexing soon. It was the day of the rains and it was absolutely beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice but here are a few shots of Goodyear and Avondale from the sky. The first pictures are shots of Goodyear and the White Tank mountains. The third picture is Estrella Mountain Ranch, one of Goodyear's nicer subdivisions and you can see Avondale in the last picture, if you look at the horizon line on the right side you can also see downtown. (you can click the pictures to enlarge them)

It does rain in the desert

No, we did not install a pool. That is our backyard after a downpour on Thursday. The good thing is the water stayed away from the house, the bad news is Arizona soil does not drain well. It is Saturday and we still can't let the cats outside because of the water and mud. Our park/retention area also got flooded. I guess we need to get going on installing some groundcoversand other plants so they can help with the drainage.
