Another fun day visiting Smeeks and Frances Vintage in Phoenix. We love goofing around in the photo booth! We've got to stay indoors when it's 110+ outside.

SUNsational Sedona
Saturday, June 25, 2011
What's a vacation without some cuts, scraps, bruises and sunburn? Our Sedona trip with the Blairs was jam-packed with excitement. Ethan and his best buddies Hudson and Carter enjoyed bunking together, exploring Bearizona, swimming, hiking Oak Creek Canyon, star-gazing (Ethan even made a map for the night hike), sliding and fishing at Slide Rock and tubing down the Verde River.
Top 10 Memorable Moments
1. Hillbilly from Arkansas feeding the Artic Wolves M&Ms. Can you say "common sense"?
2. Baby black bears napping and playing about 100 feet up in the trees. Who knew?
3. The Artic wolves running to the car when Jen accidentally shook the snack bag. The windows were immediately rolled up!
4. The skunk that scared Jen half to death outside the condo. Thankfully, this didn't include giving her a tomato soup bath!
5. Making our way through Oak Creek when Ethan realized there were lots of crawdads (mini lobsters) amongst the rocks and jumping about 3 feet out of the water!
6. Jen tripping over a big boulder with Carter in Oak Creek which pretty much ended the rest of our trekking through the water to find a fishing spot. Didn't you know the best spots require some outrageous hiking even with a 3, 4 and 5 year old?!
7. Within minutes of exploring an upper slide in Slide Rock park, I did the splits twice! Everyone on the sidelines got a good laugh. I got a massive raspberry!
8. People watching at Slide Rock park. Who could forget the topless French family and obese ladies in bikinis? Really now!
9. Star-gazing with the iphone app. We were addicted to finding all the constellations.
10. Stripping in the desert after returning from tubing. Anyone who saw boobies got an eyeful!
Thanks Jen for inviting us to Sedona and helping us make more magical memories!

Beautiful Kauai
Monday, June 6, 2011
A week in Kauai is never enough! In between the many rain showers (and I mean down pours!), we were able to geocache, visit Waimea Canyon (looks like the Grand Canyon), water slide at the condo, snorkel in the Pacific Ocean, visit a goat farm (known for their goat cheese), see the Smith Family luau and zip line over breathtaking canyons where Jurassic Park, Raiders of the Lost Ark and other movies were filmed (we even repelled down a waterfall!). We celebrated Ethan's 4th birthday at the luau where he learned to hula dance! And, he snorkeled for the first time by himself off of Kee Beach where he discovered the Hawaiian humu fish and many angelfish (while his Uncle ventured further out to find monk seals, an octopus and several eels - no thank you!). I conquered my fear of heights quickly by zipping 100's of feet in the air which ended up being more fun than scary. All in all, another amazing adventure with the Harris Family.
