Summer Vacation 2009


Well our summer is almost over, the kids went back to school on Wednesday. Vivian is a 7th grader, Henderson a 3rd grader and Gabriel a 1st grader. We had a great summer and capped off the end of July with a camping trip to Northern Arizona. We camed on the Oak Creek in Page Spring AZ which is about 10 miles south of Sedona. We chose this place because of the proximity to Grand Canyon and Sedona , for day trips we had planned, but the campground itself was so fantastic I could have never left. The kids played in the creek any chance they could. The water was cool, and clean and very safe to play in. The kids did great camping and I was very proud of their "roughing it " attitude. They roasted weiners on the fire for dinner and didn't mind the bugs and skunks. Northern Arizona is NOTHING like the Arizona we think of when we imagine hotness and cacti. It is green and has lots of creeks and water. The temperatures were in the high 80's and very comfortable at night. I really liked it there and would return for a second visit anyday. The next few posts that follow are of our various day trips to Sedona, Slide Rock and The Grand Canyon. Enjoy and leave comments!!!
