Sedona

We went to Sedona today.

We liked it so much we decided to build a house there. Using mud.

Ty worked very hard to make it seem "homey."

Those are actually the Montezuma's Castle ruins (no real relation to Motezuma, we learned). Yes, that is my ruins-seeing shirt, and yes, my hair is always in a pony tail here--it's hot!!!

Ty really liked it there. He is going to work really hard at school so that someday he can be a real life junior ranger.

We also got to see Sedona's REALLY cool red rock formations. The pics don't come close to doing them justice, but....

(Pictures of just the two of us smiling get old after a while. I know. We tried to change it up just a little.)

The Catholic church has a chapel sticking straight out of the rocks--it is totally crazy! You can't tell from the picture, but it is really high up!

Inside the chapel (there was, of course, also a huge gift shop downstairs).

It's monsoon season here, which usually means a couple hours of rain each day. However, the usual rain in the forecast turned into a massive thunderstorm that NEVER let up. By the time we made it down from the chapel to the car, we were soaked. And very sad.

We had planned on camping there overnight and going to Slide Rock state park in the morning (a natural water slide park), but there was some serious lightning and precipitation. So we walked around a while, had some dang good BBQ, and headed home.

This is what the sky looked like as we got close to Prescott.

We were sad to cut our trip short, but it was a fun day!
