Dazzling Adventures with the Dazzling Dorrells

Our spring08 ministry adventure took us out WEST where we got to combine ministry, vacation and cool learning experiences!
             
Graham, Abigail & Joy at the painted dessert
we visited the painted desert

we really drove the wheels off the car! 5,100
miles in just over 3 weeks.

We saw some amazing animals that God
made and some amazing dinasaurs that
used to walk on the earth.

The Petrified Forest National
Park was really ROCK
SOLID and chilly!

Dad and Graham hiked the tallest mountain
in Phoenix!  Piestewa Peek (the name
had changed the day before we hiked...
it used to be Squaw Peak.)

The kid-o's had a blast at Encanto Park's
Enchanted Island!

even Esther had a ride at Encanto!

Here we are with our AZ cousins!

We got to see Great Gramma Gilmore!
She's 96 this year!

We went to the Grand Canyon petting zoo
and fed the animals!

We finally had a comfortable day to enjoy
the canyon!  It had been too cold and
windy...but the kids finally really liked it!

Grand Canyon beauty

If you wear tall enough stilts and a super
man shirt...can't you just walk right over
the canyon?  Graham tried!
we hiked in 15 minutes
We made a short hike in...about 15 minutes
down Bright Angel trail...there was still ice
and snow on the trail!

Then we headed to Aztec, New Mexico
to begin Revival services...little did
we know that we would see amazing
sites just minutes from the church!

A little more than an hour from the church,
we visited the four corners.

Then, right behind our hotel was the Aztec
Ruins National Monument

And yes...we were worn out!

Here we are at the church!  We were
co-evangelists with Brian Fosset during
the week and saw quite a few
decisions for the Lord!

Then we headed to Buffalo, OK for a
revival time.  Graham was so excited!
He had lost his first tooth while we were
in AZ and now he found someone with
the same tooth out!
In Buffalo, we saw more people get saved and
had several rededications!  Our ministry trip
was quite a success--we saw God work
in peoples lives!  Please pray for us
as we share the Good News!
