Goregous Day at the Grand Canyon!

Each year, we like to celebrate our
wedding anniversary by going away on
little get-a-ways! This year we decided to explore
Northern Arizona, which is absolutely beautiful!
We have taken this trip before, but we enjoyed
it so much more this time, especially since we
had our little man with us! We realize more
and more how beautiful and how much
there really is to do in AZ!
Being outdoors people. . .we LOVE it!!!



Family pictures at the Grand Canyon!



Every view at the Grand Canyon is amazing!!!

Isaac and Papa enjoy the goregous views!

Isaac and Papa having some fun boy time!


It was such a goregous day. . .sunny and clear skies!
Such a small world! We met people from Iowa who grew up where
Jason did and know people we know! How crazy is that?!?!?
Thank goodness I wore my Iowa gear! =)
Love this view! ;-)

The Grand Canyon Railroad. . .Isaac loves choo-choo's!!!

Another breath-taking view!


Visit to the Watchtower at the Grand Canyon.

Inside the Watchtower. . .soooooo neat!

Isaac and Papa enjoy the views from the Watchtower.

Time to enjoy a yummy picnic!

Isaac helps Mama collect pine cones for a fun craft project!

My boys! =)

Look forward to hiking the Grand Canyon one day!
We were driving and saw this deer eating along side
the road. It was about 10 feet from us! So neat to see it
so close. If you look, you can see another deer in the background!
A little while later, we saw this group of Elk also eating
along side the road. So many fun things to see!

LOVE this picture of Isaac with his Papa!!!!!

Relax Time!

After all the fun-filled days we had, we would
relax in the hotel's heated pool and jacuzzi,
which was soooooooo nice! Isaac loves to
go swimming so this was an extra special treat
for him, especially since Papa makes it so fun!

My silly boys! They are so cute together!!!

Isaac relaxes on his comfy frog floaty.
Could life get any better!!! =)


Isaac LOVES jumping into the water!
He and Papa have soooooo much fun playing!!!

Our little fish! =) He sure loves the water!

Relaxing in the pool with Mama!

We LOVE Sedona, AZ!!!

Jason and I have visited Sedona, AZ many times
together and it is always such a great visit.
It holds such special memories for us
and it's a nice getaway, especially if you
enjoy the outdoors! Being able to share
this visit with our son, made this trip to Sedona
another special memory that we will always
enjoy! We already talk about our next
visit and what we will do then!
So many fun places to explore there!!!





These pictures are so beautiful, but it has to be
experienced and enjoyed in person to get the full effect!
It is such a peaceful and spiritual place for us. We are
always so relaxed while we are there!


Isaac's first time to Sedona!

Hanging out with Papa!

During a hike, we discovered a secluded area with water!
No one else was around, which was great for us as
we got to enjoy the area all by ourselves!


Isaac throws rocks into the water!


Now we know where we can go, have a nice
picnic and go fishing without a bunch of people around!



Isaac loves the outdoors just like Papa and Mama!

Exploring Tuzigoot

We love exploring, especially historical stuff, like old
Indian ruins. This was our 2nd visit to Tuzigoot
and we learned so much about the Indians who
built it and once lived there!
Tuzigoot sits on top of a mountain.

Isaac and Papa explore the area!



View from the top of Tuzigoot. Each section
once housed Indian families!



Exploring the inside was so much fun. We
got to see how the Indians lived and what they
used to make food. Lots of neat information!
