Our Trip to Sedona, AZ

October 2010

 
This fall break we took the kids, us and Grammy to Sedona, AZ.  Such a beautiful place!  It was nice, sunny and cool!  We took a few easy hikes, one at Red Rock State Park and the other at Bell Rock Pathway, enjoyed the fun games at the timeshare we stayed at, ate out a couple of times, watched some fun videos from the library but, most of all, just enjoyed each other :)

Enjoy checking out pics of our trip!

 
No pack-n-plays for the trip this time.  1st time for us doing this!  Ack! ;)
Actually, the girlies did really well.  Suzan, Bethany, Brielle (hiding under the covers ;) ) and Anna
 
Our first morning in Sedona.  A trip to the Red Rock State Park, hiking an easy-peezy trail.
 
Very beautiful!
 
 
Oak Creek runs through the trail system at Red Rock State Park.  We found a cool wooden bridge to venture over.

The girlies LOVED the fine red dirt in Sedona.  It's like they've never played in dirt before ;)
