Sledding at Wing Mountain

This was one of those vacations that goes down in the memory books as fabulous! The weather totally cooporated. Sunny for our hike/bike day and beautiful, billowy snowflakes all day for sledding.

We left Sedona to go sledding at Wing Mountain, which is past Flagstaff, around 10:00. As we drove through the canyon the drizzling rain slowly turned to snow. We had to stop at a viewpoint so the kids could get out and stand in it. Lyndsee had never seen falling snow before. It ended up snowing ALL DAY! It was so fun as you can see from the pictures below. I must thank Heidi and Lisa for providing all the great snow gear. We would have been freezing without it, but all of us stayed nice and dry and toasty. Thanks girls!

Always the daredevil!


Cute snow bunny!

Even the grouchy teenager had a smile on her face all day!

A hot cocoa break around the fire pit.

The bikes had a nice coating of snow on them (and a few icicles hanging from the handlebars.) It was hard to believe that just the day before we were out sweating on the trails in Sedona.

The drive home was a bit icy, I'm glad we left when we did.

We are home safely and grudgingly preparing for real-life tomorrow. Have a great week!

Sedona Trip

We had a great trip to Sedona this weekend! We met my parents at the Sedona Pines Resort where they own a time share. It was a nice place to stay. We had to sit through a timeshare presentation on Sunday morning - but were able to leave without buying anything (it wasn't easy though!) The kids played mini golf with my parents and then played games until we were done. We had a quick lunch then headed out to Bell Rock Trail for some hiking and biking.

Lyndsee got a mountain bike for Christmas so this was the first trail ride for her and it was a great location for a fun first ride. Brianna and Logan took turns riding my bike or Lyndsee's and the rest of us hiked. I even got a little trail running in when I had to run behind the kids on the mountain bike to keep up. It was a GORGEOUS day and we enjoyed about four hours at the trails.

The hikers in the group climbed part way up Bell Rock, there were spectacular views.

(The only bike picture I got)

Logan found a good Vortex along the trail and found peace with the earths energy. :)

Later we went and looked around one of the shopping areas and enjoyed the sculptures along the way.

She kissed the frog, but no prince appeared!

Aaaaaaaaaaa! Help me....

Why is Brinna always punching Logan?

I'll blog Monday's trip to the snow later, it was great too!
