Here we are with Mr. Franks down at the lake about 10 miles from the house
Hiking back up from the lake. Note to self, wear tennis shoes next time ; )
Emilie looking cool in Mr. Frank's classic muscle car
Daniel's space rocket
and escape pod with parachutes
What's Sadie about to drop on Emilie's head?
balloons!!!
What fun!
I think that Emilie enjoyed her birthday
I need to get a better picture, but I couldn't resist even a bad picture. Sadie made paper dolls for Emilie, complete with extra outfits.
Blowing her birthday bubbles
Emilie got nine new dresses for her birthday. Here she is putting on an "old fashion show"
This is her fairy princess dress
I love this picture
It twirls!
My parents arrived in time to celebrate Emilie's birthday on the 15th and Mr. Franks took us all out sightseeing Sunday afternoon.

Mom, "What did you do?"
Mr. Franks, "What did I do? Oh, don't be such a baby, it's only a couple of cactus splinters."
Where's Daniel?
There he is
Beautiful scenery
Oh please don't throw me in that briar patch! Really, don't!
We had lunch at an old mining town

"How!"
This little church actually has weekly services.
Last stop of our tour was the anchor of the USS Arizona
Thanks Mr. Franks for a wonderful time. We are having a wonderful time out here in Arizona. Glad my parents have been able to spend some time with us. I hope you all have enjoyed our latest post of pictures. Until next time...

Oh, what a wonderful birthday, Emilie! I love those dresses! And the scenery pictures reminded me of my girlhood in New Mexico -- nothing like the desert! Oh, and the Clauses just HAVE to get away from the North Pole once in a while! Thanks for sharing the journey with us, Franklins.

Sorry. Please feel free to delete ONE!
Looks like Emilie had a wonderful birthday...nine dresses...that sounds like a book title!
The mining town looked very interesting. I'm glad you all are enjoying your time in Arizona!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Emilie!!!
The balloons looked like a really fun idea! I love the "twirl" dress picture! Precious.
What a sweet sister Sadie is to make those paper dolls - must have taken a while. BTW - Sadie, how's the sequel to the story coming?
I see Daniel's mind has been up to its usual creative excellence!
Arizona does have a distinct beauty doesn't it? Boy! That mining town looks like fun.
It was nice to see your parents. Hope they are doing well. Tell them hello for us!
Miss you guys! Thanks for the update.
