The road through Titus Canyon is barely wide enough for one vehicle is some places:

Titus Canyon was a great drive and we found out that Egypt shared our love for off-road adventures. Shortly after this trip, I was doing some research online and found that a trail marathon uses this road every December. I can see myself attempting this trail marathon in the future with Kellisa.

Kellisa's First Haircut

July 31, 2012

When wet, Kellisa's hair was almost down to her waist. With the length and curls, it was getting too hard to maintain. It was surprisingly hard to decide to bring Kellisa for her first haircut. Lisa called around to find a place that could handle cutting Kellisa's hair. After making a few calls and even getting several recommendations, Lisa found the perfect place- Doodle Doo's. 

Getting ready:
