Daniel's Art!

Here is Daniel's awesome art work from November and December of 2009!

Dad and Daniel's Special Trip

On Saturday, January 9, 2010, Dad and Daniel had a special day trip! They took the early flight to Los Angeles and spent the day doing things that Dad loved to do with his dad when he was 9 years old! They landed at LAX and rented a car for the day. They visited three museums: The California Science Center, The National Air and Space Museum and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. They had a blast together. Both Dad and Daniel say that their favorite thing was the giant fighter jets hanging from the ceiling of the Air and Space Museum. They flew home at the end of the day, exhausted but very excited to tell everyone all about their adventures!

Sledding!

We were lucky to be able to go sledding twice during our trip to the Polar Express. The first time was in Williams, at Oak Hill, before riding the Polar Express. The second time was the next morning, when several families (the Storks, Fenders and Nails) joined us from the Valley for a morning of sledding at Wing Mountain--during a huge snow storm! We all had a blast both times, but Daniel LOVED it. We could hardly drag him off of the hills. And, he always went to the very top of the steepest, longest hills and flew down as fast as he could. Daring Daniel, that's our boy!

Bed Jumping!

The Keller boys love staying in hotels. One of the big reasons: Bed Jumping! The kids and dad think that it's a great idea--jumping and flipping from one bed to another. They sure do have fun, and luckily, nobody was hurt too badly!

The Polar Express!

On December 29, 2009, we took our 5th trip to the North Pole on the Polar Express! And, I think we all agree that it may have been the most fun yet! It was snowing and there was snow everywhere, which was awesome! And, our sweet cousin Aubrey was able to come along this year! All of the kids (and mom and dad, too!) loved eating cookies, sipping hot cocoa, singing Christmas carols and reading the story of the Polar Express. But, the best part of all was when Santa himself boarded the train and gave every child a special gift: a bell from his sleigh! It was a wonderful, magical time aboard the Polar Express!

The Grand Canyon Deer Farm!

One of the Keller Family's favorite places in Northern Arizona is the Grand Canyon Deer Farm near Williams Arizona. We try to visit the Deer Farm every time we go to the Polar Express. It's just so much fun to walk among the deer, petting them and feeding them. They are such beautiful, gentle animals! There are many other animals at the Deer Farm, too. There's a camel, wallabies, real reindeer, monkeys, pigs, donkeys and the coolest talking parrot ever! The Grand Canyon Deer Farm is a BLAST!!
