Antelope Canyon

 No time wasted on a baba planned vacation.  Second stop of the day - Antelope Canyon.  Both you and Ben did really well with these long drives... hours and hours and hours.  



A scenic drive to Antelope


And we are here!

 

Not a bad view in sight 

 


 


Watch out for the scorpions in the dark corners.  We heard about this after the end! 


 

Beautiful and cool


 



 



easy peasy



great places for hide and seek



 



 


I'm tired 

 


Tumbleweeds but since it was so wet, they are green 

Does this look like cheese mama? Take a picture 




 


Sedona, Arizona

 We always have a trip before school starts.  Last year it was Seattle. This year, we went to Arizona!  

The most popular luggage in the airport.  Packed and ready

First stop - Sedona.  Home of wild piggies 

We stayed in a fun airbnb - two floors with a trundle and indoor outdoor pool

You read somewhere that thsi is the only McDonalds that has teal arches and it's true!! 


The BIG FISH!

 As we enter the last month of summer, there is a LOT going on.  Mama likes to squeeze in as much fun as we can before school starts.  We had fishing, virtual reality with Andrew and then a trip to Arizona, special request from you for a lazy river. 


Both of you love being at home and just hanging out with each other.  

eFoil time!  You did great.  Being the smallest, you floated really high above the water!

Fishing with Cooper and Nilly



Your strategy - get the small fish to use as bait to get the big fish.  Boy did it work!

Big mouth bass - wow
It was so big we needed to get you a new rod

Super heavy gear - 30 pounds!
