Summer Vacation to Arizona

We were able to go and visit Josh's brother, Ray, and his family this past week.  We had an awesome time--enjoying the view, feeling the dryer temperatures, and hiking whenever and wherever possible.  :) The following pictures will show you what we got to go and see and do.  Thank you Ray and Sandra for making our trip extra special.

Montezuma Castle National Park



Jerome, Arizona--a haunted ghost town (once a copper mine).


When the boys and Heather spent the day on dirt bikes, Kayden and I spent the day on horses.  Kayden's horse was named Wi-Fi and my horse was named Snowflake, but had recently had to change his name to Snowman.  ha!



Hiking on West Fork Trail in Sedona, Arizona.



Standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona....Kayden is a big Eagles fan, so this trip to Winslow was a little out of the way, but worth it for our Kay.




We are still in the middle of the pandemic, so whenever we weren't on a trail, we had our masks on. ugh!  But, with this hat, Karston is rocking the look.







We rented a cabin in Pine, Arizona.  This horse lived in the backyard, and Kayden and her bonded.  Kayden misses playing with horses.








Finding my zen in the Arizona mountains on the Kinder Crossing Trail.









Uncle Ray was our own personal trail guide.  He knew all the great places.  THANK YOU!





We saw lots of elk.  





We took this picture right after we heard a kid yell out, "This is the never ending trail!"  We happened to agree....




We give this candy a thumb's down.



We met my Dad and Uncle Jim in Arizona to visit John Wesley Ault and Judith Elizabeth Westbrook's grave.  We then went to Cracker Barrel, yummy!  Karston got to talk to Uncle Jim about the Air Force as well.




We found a cave too.



Arizona definitely put on a great show, and we can't wait to come back again.  :)
