Sedona


We went camping in Sedona last weekend with my brother Cole and his family. It was beautiful down there. Its the only place in Arizona that I have actually thought had beauty (sorry people, I dont like the desert much). We camped right next to a river. In the morning all the men, little men included, went to fish.Since no one had licenses they didnt think to bring their poles. While we were packing the car, Zach threw his little fishing pole and Tanner's into the van. It turned out to be a great thing since the fish were active and didnt care that the marshmallows we used as bait were attached to a Lightning McQueen pole. It was quite humorous seeing grown men using it too. In the end they did end up catching three trout.

It rained for about 3 hours in the night. It was thunder and lightning like you cant believe. Luckily our tent is a huge waterproof blessing. Everyone slept through it but me. I was paranoid about one of the kids waking up and leaving the tent in the night.(Recently a two year old left his tent in the night camping in Sedona. His remains were found over a week later.It was all over the news. It scared me to death!) I tossed and turned and jumped up in my sleep all night to count heads. I know, thus is a paranoid mother.
We ended our adventure with a little drive up to Flagstaff to eat a picnic lunch. Great times. We love camping!

Nothing like a hot dog on the fire. AAHHH! The life.

Watching movies to settle down for the evening.
Goodmorning. ok, maybe not.
Goodmorning sunshine!
Where are we headed this morning Zach ?
One, two, three, four, five. Once I caught a fish alive.
We caught it using this awesome kiddy fishing pole.
They must not want some people using the front door. It may reflect poorly on their business
Cute family
Playing pretend in the forest
I got a stick and I know how to use it!
