Summer Trip to Flagstaff 2011

We headed up to Flagstaff a couple of weekends ago to get out of this heat and visit Adam and Katelyn. The weather was wonderful, the time was relaxing and the kids loved being with their Uncle and "Auntie" (eventually, right?).


We had a psuedo camping trip...which, with my kids, means drive out 30 minutes to some deeper woods, set up "camp", make a fire, roast hotdogs and marshmellows for s'mores, and then... call it a night. We lasted 1 hr and 10 min in the wilderness....glad we didn't set up tents :)


Otherwise, we relaxed at Adam and Katelyn's while the kids watched and watched and watched all of their reptilian pets - snakes, lizards, turtles, fish, and lots of really cool rainforest frogs. We also went downtown to the Sunday Farmer's Market and picked up some yummy fresh produce for our dinner, ate delicious bagels for breakfast, ate yummy burgers from Freddy's, (wow why does every trip revolve around food??) and of course, made a quick trip to Marshalls...but no good finds this trip.


Another great time in Flag and it will only get better as Ella and Jonah get older (when he is out of his routine/element, things get difficult OR more so, I get stressed!).

All ready! - If I only knew it wouldn't be very long til they were begging to leave.




The bonfire Adam created....a little two hot for comfort (and for roasting marshmellows)
