Northern Arizona

We needed a break from the 115 degree temps of the Valley so James took a few days off and we headed up to Sedona to see my Mom, Step-Dad, Aunt and Uncle and were fortunate enough to also have time with my Cousins, Ryan and Elyse, they were on a school break. Benjamin was absolutely enamored with his Cousin Elyse, following her around and wanting to be picked up by her, only eating if she fed him, it was pretty darn cute. He also loved all of the "Beeeloons" that Auntie made for him, water AND air, he now sees her and calls her "Auntie Beeelooon". He adores Grammy and asked her to "Come on Gwammy" anytime she wasn't following his every footstep. It was still pretty warm in Sedona, mid 90's, but hanging out in Oak Creek and the pool made it all more enjoyable and then before heading home we went to Snowbowl in Flagstaff where it dropped down to 79! Gorgeous drive with the flowers, ferns, pines and Aspens greeting us. All in all it was a nice break!
