Sedona

Sheez, Summer was really great. This is my 4th post about it. After our getaway in Utah, we still weren't ready to go back to Globe, so why not have another vacation? And why not be with the same people we were with for the past month? 

We drove to Sedona, Arizona, home of one John McCain.

I had never been there. But I'm sure glad we went. It was pretty cool. 

Just look

We pretty much did a hike a day, I might be turning granola.

Hike 1

Sadie was 8 months preggo

Travis was really feeling it and he got really ambitious. And then Avery must have felt it, because they ditched us. 
 But then Tice and I kind of caught the ambition bug and tried to follow them up. But then we got distracted by the mountain wall
So we climbed down (ADHD much?)

When we got down, we looked up, and this is what we saw

 Travis and Avery

 Jon, Jack, Brayden, Trav and Avery
They were pretty ambitious

So was she

Hike 2

 You know you live in a small town when you have to pry your kids off a rock because they think it is the most fun thing they have  seen

 This hike wasn't quite as technical, so we all stayed together


 Oh wait, we didn't because Travis's hiking ambitions rubbed off on my dad as well, and they somehow found the top of this rock!

Oh and again, she worked hard as well

Hike 3




 This one wasn't as vertical, more horizontal, and I think the kids were officially over hiking!

But not her, she could have gone on at least 3 more hikes.

We also went to the coolest river
 There is nothing as refreshing as jumping into a river and there is nothing worse than stubbing your toe on a rock in that river. Doh!

The next day, we went back to the river and played on the shallow part where we could slide down the slippery rocks to the water fall. Pretty amazing!!!

Although, the day after that, our bums were rubbed raw. Totally worth it though

But not one complaint from her

The place we stayed at was really nice. They had lots of activities at the pool.
These boys came home with lots of medals!

Oh yeah, and I just had to put this picture in as well. Ya know, it was just the sports trivia challenge and well, yeah I BEAT MY HUSBAND!!!! BOO YEAH!

What a fun place to visit! Its only 2 1/2 hours from Globe, so Sedona, you will definitely see us again!

Thanks Mom and Dad for getting us such an awesome timeshare.
