Wild,Wild,West!!

What an amazing time we had in Arizona. This was my first visit to the Wild Wild West! To start off we drove straight through from Louisiana to Tucson,Arizona. What a trip it was! We had a wonderful ride in and enjoyed the scenary. The kids were amazing for the trip. We could not of asked for them to do any better.
When we got there we stayed in a hotel room for the first night and went to the campground the next and that is where we would be for the next 10 days. We visited with a lot of friends while we were there. Johnathon really enjoyed seeing all of his old houses and seeing people that meant a lot to him when he lived there. I could not wipe that smile off of his face the entire drive there. We were able to do a few things aside from all the visting. We took the kids to the Phoenix Zoo, which was so much fun. We attemtpted to ride these bikes while we were there!! That was a joke! Maybe in Louisiana we could pedal those bikes, but not in the mountains! So, we rented a paddle boat and went in the pond instead. The kids had so much fun. We also took them to Rawhide. That was AWESOME! They just loved it. They panned for gold,rode a donkey,watched a shootout and rode the train. It was amazing!The kids enjoyed every minute of the time they were able to spend with their Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw.We took them to a park that was so nice! They thought it was so cool that Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw were going to the park with them and playing with them! I wish we had parks like that in Louisiana.




We attempted to go to one of Johnathon's favorite places-Oak Creek Canyon. It was a beautiful ride into Sedona. Although my father-in-law was scaring me to death driving up them mountains at 80mph. Now who thinks that the speed limit should be 80mph going up and around those mountains?!?!? Anyway, when we got to Oak Creek Canyon it was raining cats and dogs out there but we still attempted to go and walk through. It was still so beautiful.


We had an amazing trip and enjoyed every minute of the time we were able to spend as a family. There were some ruff patches due to the kids not feeling very well before we left but all turned out well and we made some memories. Baylee wants to move to Arizona now. She loves it! She said "Mother, there is so many fun things to see here!" The real reason we went to Arizona was to go to Johnathon's Cousin, Ryan's wedding. The wedding was so beautiful.What an Awesome time we had. The Lord really blessed us to be able to go on this trip! My kids have been more places in their short amount of time here, than I have in my entire life! What a blessing that is to see your children being able to have the experiences at such a young age.
