Quick trip to St George
This is how huge the turbines are in the dam. The kids really enjoyed this spontaneous stop, and it was a great time to get out and run around on our 6 hour trip. I will have details on Kyle's race later today.

It's Soccer Time Again!

What a great trip!
We really had a wonderful four days on vacation. Sorry this is kinda backwards because of the way the blog posts, but you get the main idea of what we did this week. Here are just some random pictures we took in Holbrook that I didn't include before. Some people will try anything!
This is one thing I never thought I'd see-- a bug limo. I wonder if it really drove like that!
I hope you enjoyed these pictures, because we sure enjoyed taking them.
Flagstaff, here we come!
Thursday morning we got up early and left our wig wam for the Days Inn in Flagstaff, AZ. Our first stop was Walnut Canyon National Monument, but they had a rock slide that closed down the main hike, so we didn't stay long. The rest of the day we spent shopping in Flagstaff and swimming at the hotel. It was a nice relaxing day.
On Friday morning we left the hotel for home. But on the way we stopped at two more National Monuments near Flagstaff--Sunset Crater and Wapatki. Sunset Crater is an old volcano that you can hike around. There were piles of lava rock, black sand and twisted trees to look out for.
It was so different from other places we had visited because it was so black and barren. We all really enjoyed this hike.
Wapatki is more ancient indian ruins, but instead of cliff dwellings like at Mesa Verde, these communities are built out in the open.
At the end of the trail is a blowhole that had great suction power. They have it covered with a grate, but if you put your hat over it, it will suck it right up. The kids really liked that part.
We didn't see too much wildlife on this trip--some squirrels, rabbits and lizards. Here is a green lizard on the end of this sign. The boys love looking for animals and seeing who can spot the biggest or smallest ones. National Parks and Monuments are great places for kids to learn about nature and the world God created for us.
