It's been a while

I didn't realize that it has been almost a month.  A fair bit has transpired since we left Yuma.  Upon our departure we headed to Phoenix.  We parked the trailer at the SOOP site, right beside Peter and Rheta Mae Wiebe's home.  Peter was an interim President of H.C.  so it was nice to have a contact.   We were invited to a community movie night across the street which Doug and the girls took advantage of.  I stayed home and did laundry and got some needed quiet time.  The next day we connected with John Murray.  He took us hiking, toured us around Phoenix and accompanied us to the Organ Stop Pizza Restaurant.  The pizza was good, the Wurlitzer organ was entertaining. 

The next day we headed to Sedona.  We spent the next day scrambling around the red rocks of Sedona.   We hiked up Cathedral Rock.  We also hiked to Devils Bridge.  We calculated that we hiked about 8 miles that day.  Erin decided to try hiking in her flip flops on the second hike.  It was fairly obvious after the first mile that flip flops were not a good choice.  Natural consequences are the best teachers.  We decided at that point that all of the females in the family needed some good hiking boots.  It was a tiring but fun day! After Sedona we were off to Hopi Mission School.
