Ice Skating


It has become Bowler tradition to go ice skating and/or skiing during Christmas vacation. We took everyone, including Nick, to the Coyote Ice Rink in Tempe to go skating. Nick had never skated on ice before and stopped counting after 20 times falling. Martin never admited how often he fell. What was so amazing that he said he had been ice skating in Dubai, which is in the desert just like Phoenix. You'd think that in the cold German climate there would be skating rinks. We had lunch at El Pollo Loco before the activity.

Making Navajo Fry Bread



Sarah shared her ancient secret with us on how to make Navajo Fry Bread. Everyone made their own bread and Martin even cooked his in the oil. This was a most fabulous day!

Canyon de Chelly






Martin arrived on December 20th for a nearly 10 day stay with us. We made arrangements to visit our friend Sarah in Chinle who had made arrangements to take us into the canyon. What a way cool off-roading experience.
