The Schreiber Family

We enjoyed our Spring break in Phoenix, Arizona again this year. We caught the Grand Canyon Railroad in Williams, AZ and headed up to the Grand Canyon. It is truly breath taking. It is so hard to realize how huge and massive it is or it is probably better to say how small we are in the world. I could stand there all day and just look. We stopped in Sedona along the way to see the Chapel of the Holy Cross. The Red Rocks are beautiful and my favorite part. I understand why they call this God's Country. Pictures can't give you the true pleasure you feel when you are there. But Katrina got a beautiful picture of the Chapel. Just beautiful! We stopped at the Meteor Crator in the painted desert. Frederick and Chuck like this, a big hole in the ground. You could see for miles and it was so deserted.

We learned all about elevation and how it could change so quickly. Going from 80 degrees to snow in the mountains was so neat. The mountains were beautiful and they were everywhere. I did have a favorite that we was saw everywhere we went. It was like watching over us. We learned it was the San Franciscio (St. Francis) Peaks just north of Flagstaff. Back in Phoenix, we eat at Haus Murphey's which was on Diners, Drive-in and Dives. We loved the German food and listening to Katrina speak German. We hiked on Squaw Peak. It was only 1.2 miles but it was listed as difficult. AND IT WAS! But, it is such a beautiful area.

Samantha spent her spring break in Houston, TX. She is one of the drivers for the Purdue Solar Racing car and they competed in Houston this past March. They did really well with over 3500 MPG. Frederick and I was able to see the car at Purdue a few weeks ago. Pretty cool. Sam is enjoying her computer graphic classes and is excited to see where her career path leads her. 

 

Katrina is a Junior this year and is involved in Cross Country in the fall, Bowling in the winter and Softball in the spring. She also enjoys art, drawing and photography. She is visiting colleges and looking forward to her Senior year.

Frederick is a Freshman this year. After many years watching his sister, he is happy to finally be a member of the Homestead Alliance Marching Band. He plays the trombone in band and Jazz Band.

Chuck is still at Stirling Energy working on Sun Catchers. We were able to see the sun catchers at work in Phoenix. Solar is becoming popular in our family. I look forward to having Mom here again this summer. The kids and their friends love Grandma.  We are planning to see a baseball game (Tin Caps), eat lunch at a Tea Shop and visit Dayton.  So, we are open to any suggestions and hopefully we will get to see everyone.
