Every year (this being the 4th) Matt and I go up to Sedona when the leaves are changing and hike and eat at our favorite little area in town. It's been fun to incorporate the kids the past few years. Jake did so great walking almost the whole time by himself. He felt like such a big boy jumping across (through) the creek, and thanks to some thick Timberlands, his feet didn't get soaked (just the shoe!) Sam did amazing on only 30 minutes nap and of course loved the outdoors. The travel was a little hairy with an accident that had the 17 closed (Matt did a great job of navigating us there as there were NO cops to direct or detour signs). On the way back the traffic was backed up into the mountains. It took us 3 HOURS to get home, with crying babies who were tired and hungry...good times! But as Matt and I talked about while we were in it, it seems so miserable at the time, but when you look back on the memories, you remember the fun time you had while you were there, not the frustrating drive.
Looks like fun! I hope you are using the picture of the 4 of you for a Christmas card?! but knowing you, you wouldn't post it on your blog and ruin the surprise. Anyway, the picture is adorable!
ReplyDeleteYah I was wondering the same thing. I noticed that all of you were coordinating which means for sure that there's a Christmas picture in there somewhere that you haven't revealed! I got your number sister.
ReplyDeleteOh you guys know me TOO WELL. And you both nailed it actually! Except for the "christmas" part :) You wish you knew what's up my sleeve...
