We decided to drive up by Camp Verde yesterday to see Montezuma's Castle - which isn't really Montezuma's castle. Some Spaniards came across it a few hundred years ago and decided it was a castle of the Aztec ruler who lived over 2000 miles south. Oh well, the name stuck. Really it belonged to a community of 45 who were apart of a village. The people disappeared for some reason around 1400, and since there's no surviving record, there's really no answers to the who what where when and whys.
The castle
Montezuma's Well - the holes in the wall are cutouts of doors and windows that the people used. They built their homes in the walls.
Brighton was on a quest to find the perfect rock. Maybe it's over here.
Hold on, maybe it's on this side.
This one looks good, hold this one for me Daddy.
THE One.

THE One.Brighton had a great day running around and screaming (for joy). We had the backpack with us to carry her, but she didn't want to be held for more than a couple seconds (just long enough to catch her breath).
