SEDONA

We drove up to Sedona for the holiday weekend to do some climbing and hiking. The weather was a little too wet to do any climbing, so we just explored the resort town and hiked the next day. Tom's family drove down from SLC to hang out, really just to see the baby. You know how it is, once you have kids, no one really comes to see you anymore, they really come to see the baby. It's okay, I've accepted this and welcome it cause that means more time for me to read or run errands or do anything baby free! Anyways, back to Sedona.

This is Hailey, Matt, Tom & I about to hike up Bell Rock. We made it to the top of the center peak.

This was the hardest part of the hike. It's smooth enough to just scramble up, but that also means it's smooth enough to just slide right back down! The little "path" where it's lighter cause water probably drains down that way is the way we went up.

You can tell how high it really was from a distance. The other pictures make it look like we didn't really go that high at all. We didn't climb ALL the way to the top, but we made it most of the way. To go higher would have been pushing our luck.

This is her "What the crap? I thought we left this cold weather behind!!" look

She wasn't willing to get totally wet (the water was freezing) but she played in this shallow puddle for a little bit.

Cold water!
