Day 4 Sedona, Arizona

We arrived in Sedona and unloaded the trailer at Cave Springs campsite.  Josh read about a hike that was one of the most popular and family friendly in Sedona so we thought we would give it a try.  It was the West Fork of Oak Creek Trail in Sedona, Arizona and just 2 miles from our campsite.

 This hike started with a valley full of apple trees that descended down into a canyon with overwhelming red canyon walls that followed along a beautiful creek. 

We took Bean with us and allowed him to run off his leash whenever the trail was clear.  He provided us lots of laughs. He LOVES to run ahead then come back to us and make sure we are sill following him. 


We went through 7 of the 13 creek crossings and stopped for a little swim in one of the bigger ones.  Bean jumped in for a swim too. 









This hike was easy and absolutely gorgeous.  We ended our night with apple races down the creek.  We put our apple on the bridge, gently pushed them off, and watched the current take it down stream. I’m pretty sure my apple won but don’t tell Josh and Jenna because they think they won.

I Monday MADE IT!!

Hi Sweet and Sassy Friends!!  I have some fun pictures of some things that I have made just in time for school to start and Monday Made It.  {insert cheering and clapping} Okay, first.......I didn't actually make the bench BUT I did repaint it and get it classroom ready.  That should totally count and the fact that I nearly took out the neighbor's window during the process.  {if your my neighbor reading this--I'm sorry and it's okay} Here is the before: {donated by a dear friend-LOVE her} I need you to picture this:  I'm on my front porch with the lid of the bench resting nicely on the back of the bench (easier for sanding).  I'm using a handy-dandy electric sander.  Super powerful.  I place the sander on the lid and push the button..........OH. MY. WORD. the board shoots across the yard towards the neighbors window. YIKES!!  A little embarressing but no one saw, so I pick it up bring it back and this time I hang on to it....

Good Things

What happens when we give kids the chance to share something important to them?  This is one of the many things that I loved about Capturing Kids Hearts from Royse City.  I completely understand the importance of giving the kids the opportunity to share something good for a multitude of reason but I also know it takes time.  Guess what?  I found a way for the kids to share their "good things" first thing in the morning.  We call it our Daily News and we do it on a padlet wall with our ipads. Have you heard of Padlet? We call it our Daily News but it's done on the iPads and is immediately projected onto our whiteboard to read throughout the day.  And it is FREE!! All you need to do is set up an account.  You can go here to create your own. Each morning I open a new padlet wall, super easy.  Scan the QR code with a few ipads.  The QR code is on the right side when you click the share button.  The kids are now re...
