camping!!!!!

three weekends ago bryan's ultimate team went up to flagstaff for a training of sorts & finn said "mom, i'd really like to get the f.... out of this heat." i have no idea where he learned that word, but he seemed pretty passionate about going. so we went too.

a few months ago we bought a new tent for our family, it's hugemongus. we're calling it our mansion. we were going to attempt camping... we left friday afternoon & headed for jerome. a cool, old mining town.

our car is a bit small for all 5 of us to be in it at the same time. i sat in the back with finn & skye, while bryan & kylie had the front all to themselves.

so happy.

the view from jerome of sedona. oh la la.

see our mansion...! we set up shop in our friend's backyard. the first night there was a bed open & we thought it would be silly to pass it up- but it was very warm & a little uncomfortable, so the next night we for real camped out. it was much cooler outside. finn loved being bundled up & sleeping on my chest to the sound of leaves whistling in the breeze.
finn was fascinated by the trees.

at the fields watching papa show off his skills & captaining'

the boys.
finn & owen, his best buddy!

hammocking...

on sunday before we headed home we decided to play in flagstaff. we seeked shelter while watching a decent little rain shower.


on the drive home the skies were beautiful. does anyone else see an angel flying low in these clouds?

god light. so purty.

purtier.


we actually just got back tonight from another trip to flagstaff. we love that town. bryan's ultimate team had a tournament there & they won!!! yeah sprawl :)

craziness starts this tuesday. finn & i fly to atlanta & bryan follows on friday. we will be out of town 8 out of the next 10 weekends. we're NUTS, i know!!!
