The kiddos at Montezuma's Castle 
Watching a Native American Dancing at Sedona
The fam, my dad was taking the picture
Painting up some Halloween funI was able to head down to AZ for the weekend to spend some time with the fam! I got in on Friday night, and went to bed that night anticipating a nice long sleeping in session! I was sleeping peacefully when at 8 AM on Saturday morning I was awakened by a phone call from Averie Lou to "wake up" and join them in a trip to Sedona for the day! We all loaded in their car (all 9 of us, myself, parents, Jason, Angie and kids) and headed out of town. The trip up took a little bit longer than expected since everyone else seemed to have the same idea as my brother, to get out of the hot weather and head north! We arrived at our first destination, Montezuma's Castle. It looked different from when I had seen it as a kid, but it was cool to see it again. I think the kids liked it too. It's always fun to go places with the kiddos, and Jason and Angie and my parents too I suppose (haha), I like to invite myself on their vacations and seem to show up in a lot of their family pictures!
We made it up to Sedona finally, and had a fun time eating lunch at a Mexican restaurant there, walking around the shops, visiting the Sedona Fire Department booth, and taking pictures. It was a beautiful day there, and even ended up raining on us. Arizona really is a beautiful state. We drove up Oak Creek Canyon, but didn't stop at Slide Rock because it was raining pretty hard at the time. So, we drove up to Flagstaff were we went to see the Lumberjack in front of the football stadium. We ate some dinner and got some ice cream and headed back home. It was a fun day!
Sunday was nice and relaxing and Angie pulled out her Scookie Pans and made us a delicious treat! Yummy!!
Monday we ended up going to Creative Hands to paint some pottery, then went to the Olive Garden for dinner. Good times with the fam!

That looks like so much fun! I have to agree Arizona is a beautiful state! I love it there. Did you know that my parents moved there last weekend. Actually that same weekend you where there! We are really excited for them! Glad you had a fun Labor Day weekend! It was rainy and cold here, you didn't miss out on much!
Check out the hot girl next to me in the picture she is making me look bad! See I don't need to blog your doing a great job for me. Jason suggested we go paint again for our anniversry next week, I'm not sure who had more fun the adults or kids!!
I was going to comment on the girl next to Angie in that picture as well. Gotta love when the shorts are SO short that the pockets are hanging out. I guess if you've got it, flaunt it?? Your nieces and nephews are adorable. I don't think I'd seen pictures of the youngest. Also, your hair is SUPER cute in the picture of you being a crafty little painter. I love it! Glad you had a good time with your family and that you FINALLY created another posting!
Fun fun! We love good times with the fam. I'm glad you were able to go down- beats a day like today of work, huh?!
Welcome back Tonyer! Sounds like good family fun! I noticed your hair too--looks cute!
"You've Been Bag Tagged" (See my latest blog entry)!
Ah! This proves that being woken up early can indeed be a good thing! It looks like you had so much fun!
How fun! I'm so glad you got to go home and visit. No sleeping in when your with the kids...I think people don't like coming to my house for that reason!
i have never been to arizona, unless i can count the two seconds while on the way to california/vegas! it sounds/looks like a great place to go, though - so glad you had a great time with your family. isn't it nice to have good hair days in hot/rainy weather!?
