More Sedona

We took a walk around the Sedona Summit, and it was a blast. No, really.

Then, this morning we went for a hike up Doe Mountain. (Dear, Lord, why do I hate heights so much? Why am I such a chicken??)

This was the photo that we entered into the Dance School's photo contest!

Feeling a zen moment

Phoenix day trip! And St. Patty's photos

So, we had an idea to meet my cousin Joe down in Phoenix and he suggested that we meet up at the Maryvale Ballpark where the Brewers have spring training. We stopped at In-N-Out Burger for some lunch prior to meeting Joe, his daughter Mia, his nephew Trace and Ashley's brother Aaron at the game.

More Sedona! March 14 & 15

We took a hike down Boyton Canyon on Monday morning, and then around Bell Rock in the evening. Today was the ATV rental--I call it the DOOMbuggy, instead of the Dunebuggy. I was about ready to lose my cookies a few times, but Cory did all of the driving and we managed to return alive. (The wild trail ride was followed by two margaritas for lunch for this gal right here.)

The kids love scrambling over the rocks

Then, on Tues. the 15th, we rented an ATV. Yes. Yes, we did.
And Cory drove. And I almost cried. We all had fun and we all got filthy and I didn't die.

Riding in the back of the DoomBuggy

We took the Outlaw trail to the Honanki Ruins. Very cool site where you can walk up and see the ruins fairly well. They said it was home to a community of approximately 200.

Right underneath petroglyphs you can see some graffiti... GRRRR!

And then we continued the ATV Tour... onto Diamondback Gulch.

I don't know if this photo can quite capture just how steep this grade was... the Pink Jeep Tour is ahead of us

Out for lunch at a place that provided etch-a-sketches to the kids
