I am not sure why I always choose to go to Arizona in the summertime, but holy hot vacation! But, it's totally worth it to spend some time with my brothers and their families.
We spent most of the time in the water, to try and beat the heat. One splash pad after another, these kiddos ran and sun bathed and played together so cute! My youngest brother just moved his family to the area so, we got to get together the with them and their daughter too, which was icing on the cake!
Our biggest adventure was when we decided to take the kids to Camp Verde to see the old Indian houses in the rocks. Lesley had memories of walking around them when she was a kid, and knowing my history heart, we made the drive out there. If only we knew what adventure we had signed up for. The 2 hours drive turned into 4 hours as we got stuck on the highway waiting for a RV fire to be cleared from the road. We unloaded the kids and had lunch right there on the road - an adventure the kids really loved. Cameron screamed for the better part of the trip, which was awesome! (boo). Once we finally arrived, the kids ran and ran while we snacked on some more food before taking the walk down to the house. Only later to learn that we couldn't actually walk into the houses; and it was a different place that Lesley was remembering. Oh how we laughed. A 4 hours drive for a 20 minute walk around a small loop. But - I did LOVE the pictures we got, and the memory is priceless.

What a funny story. Was she thinking of Mesa Verde in Colorado? You take such great pictures and all look so great!
