Inside the Hogan... made completely of Cedar wood

At the edge of the Grand Canyon... don't look down!

HUGE!

Enjoying the view

You are having too much fun.....
As you appear to be having much too good a time and the fact that I am extremely jealous I thought I would let Ben know that Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-0 at the weekend - yes Drogba scored !! I am so pleased your mum let me have all your details so that I can keep you updated with the results and tables !!! Love to you both and beware of falling kayaks. Auntie Les (fairy godmother !)
