For Spring Break this year we went to Sedona AZ with a big group of our friends the Quarnbergs, Stegelmieres, Dares, and the Martins.
We Followed the Quarnbergs and stopped on the reservation at a road side stand that claimed to have petrified dinosaur tracks. We stopped and low and behold they looked pretty really. I was a fun break on our 9 hour drive down to Sedona.
Madelyn ready for the hike to see the Tracks!
Mason and his friend Bradin sizing up the dino track.
While in AZ we of course did some Mountain Biking, well not just some but a lot. Most of our friend trips revolve around biking which is a great thing. While on our bike rides we would see people on the side of the trail doing yoga. We thought we would try it out for ourselves.
Towards the end of our camping trip we decided that we were sick of each others smell so we drove to Cottonwood and bathed in their city pool. It was a fun way to relax and have fun with the kid who were mostly stuck at camp while their parents went on bike rides.
Me and the girls enjoying some time together at camp.
While the girls were on a ride the dad took the kids on a hike not to far from our camp, it had Indian art and dwellings.
The kids spent most of the time play at camp together, they had a great time.
The couple huddled up by the fire!
On our first ride we finished the trail and asked a lady to take our picture and she was quite the professional.
Go Girls!!!!!
some the the causalities on the trail.
On our way home we drove to The Grand Canyon because, Monroe or the kids had never seen it. I have told Monroe since we have been married that The Grand Canyon is an experience to behold and that word or picture don't do it justice. So us the Stegelmiers, and the Dares drove a couple hours out of the way to Williams AZ where we stayed the night so we could wake up in the morning, drive the 30 miles to see The Grand Canyon, and be on our way home. We woke up the next morning to 4 feet of snow!!!
With every road out of Williams Closed we anticipated staying another night, luckily the roads cleared and we went our way up to The Grand Canyon. When we got there it was a blizzard and and view into the canyon was 0. But at least we got to have our picture taken at the Grand Canyon!
What a interesting and fun adventure to say the least.
It was a really fun trip with good friend and beautiful scenery. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
My Grandpa Hurst died from a 16 year battle of cancer in summer of 2011. I will always remember my grandfathers contagious smile and laugh. He was always interested in others especially family and rarely talked about himself. He loved his family and always wanted the "party" to be around him. I remember he would always find someone to talk to even if he didn't know them. He was truly an example to me and hope I will always show love in such a fun loving way.
