I could tell we were all desperate to have a change of scenery but I don't think we realized just how desperately we needed it until we got there. We drove to Flagstaff and we went to Sunset Crater (so neat) and then we walked around the NAU campus. We were thankful that the area was pretty much empty and we didn't see really anyone near us. We were extremely cautious, we all wore masks and we were very aware of our actions to make sure were safe.
We also found a place near a forest, pulled over and had a picnic. It was glorious. The kids ran free, even Jennings, explored the great outdoors and we all enjoyed the fresh air. We enjoyed the flowers, we played freeze tag, we went for walks and we took in the beauty around us. I can't stress enough just how beautiful and wonderful it was to get a way and have a break.
Here are a few of our pictures from the fun quick trip up north. We hope we will get to sneak away again while being safe and spending quality time.
We were able to see the areas where the recent wild fires have been.
With 7 in our minivan, we are definitely feeling the mini part of the vehicle.
Even this little guy was happy to get out.
Sunset Crater canyon.
I loved this picture.... it reminded me that even when all hope seems lost, there is still a reason to believe and try.
Yes they are still fighting... thank goodness, still healthy right?
This guy got to feel grass for the first time. He liked it.
Until next time,
Angie
