This is a stick she found and decided to play with for a while. She was having a blast.
This is in Mesa Verde in Colorado and it was pretty neat. We hiked down to this ruin called the Spruce Tree House. They date from 1200-1300ad. We were allowed to get pretty close to this one so that is cool. The hike kind of sucked though (man am I a wuss).
On Tuesday we spent the day in Farmington NM and we found this tiny little children's science museum. They had some fun stuff for little kids though including a whole section filled with soft toys and slides etc for kids under 5 that Bryn LOVED (in the background of this picture). She could run and climb and not get hurt and she played for an hour and a half and we still had to drag her out of there. One of the exhibits had a wind blower and she thought it was cool.
And here we are at the 4 corners on Wednesday. We walked round and bought some Indian jewelry for way too much money and then ate some hot fry bread. Yum.
And we also went to Canyon de Chelly on Wednesday and camped there. It was nice and rained a lot, but we froze that night. Here we are at one of the overlooks.
And this is the whole group of us at the painted desert/petrified forest on Thursday. It wasn't that cool, but it was nice to see it once.
And on Friday we were in Flagstaff and went to the Riordan mansion. We just walked around and took pictures since I had already been there and taking a 17 month old into a house full of untouchable antiques did not sound fun at all. This is us by an old wheel.
Bryn
And us on a rock. She wouldn't look at the camera though.
We really enjoyed the nice weather and all the rain that we got. On the down side we all had to sleep in the same room basically with Bryn and so we couldn't move and once she was asleep no one could use the bathroom. It was crazy. And by Thursday we were all sick of each other and we were constantly singing the Backyardigans episodes that we watched over and over so Bryn would stop yelling at being stuck in her car seat. Those dang songs are so catchy. It was fun but I don't know that I will be doing it again with a toddler anytime soon.

Sounds like a fun trip! We just got back from a trip too up in Sedona, it was pretty! Loved all the rain. I bet it was cooler weather where you were. I always wanted to go to the 4 corners...
