Team Altman: Enjoying the Arizona Landscape

Our vacation starts in Arizona. This is the first of three posts of our trip, so stay tuned for more! The main reason for everyone getting together here was for my grandmother's 70th birthday. Sedona was one destination for our trip, also known as "Red Rock Country" for its red rock monoliths all throughout the landscape. Here are some pictures from our trip...

The weather in Sedona was hot hot hot, about 100 degrees while we were there, but that didn't seem to bother Joshua. While most took a nap one afternoon, Joshua was playing outside!

No matter how hot, we love to play outside!

Are you tired yet?

We all took a pink jeep tour, which was an off rode tour that took us through the canyons and to the top of the monolith. The ride was pretty bumpy and wild, and Joshua thought it was the funnest thing!

We left Sedona and headed to Prescott Arizona. unless you have been there you probably haven't heard of it. The town’s mile-high location in the Grand Canyon State’s central highlands brings four mild seasons, an average annual daytime temperature of about seventy degrees, and over 300 days of sunshine. Doesn't sound like Arizona right?

My parents vacation home there has become a nice place to visit during the winter for skiing and during the summer for escaping the blistering heat of Texas. Joshua loves being there. The landscape is quite different from Texas with lots of canyons, desert wildlife and a quiet small town feel. The house has a balcony where Joshua spent most of his time during the morning and evening. Dont think he is scared of heights!

I love this view!

Happy 4th of July!

So ticklish

Prescott Arizona has the world's longest going rodeo, established in 1888. Its a fun tradition we started last summer, and this summer Joshua was old enough to enjoy it!
