Arizona

We headed down south for the 4th of July weekend.  It seemed everyone was escaping the heat and heading north, but we didn't mind- less traffic for us!  We visited my sister Rebecca and her family.  While in Arizona, we headed up to Sedona.  It is beautiful up there!  It is also much cooler at that elevation.  We found some water to play in and had a barbeque.  It was a great visit!

Kids getting wet!

Drew loves the water

the rocks under water were very slippery- we had to help the kids get across

you'd think they owned the place

For the 4th of July, I made the kids patriotic outfits.

Hope you enjoyed the 4th of July!  I am so grateful for this country and all of our freedoms.  Let's do our part to keep it great!
