I was not the best at taking pictures on this trip, but I stole a few from other photographers in the family! We spent a day at Slide Rock State Park. This is a fun place, where the "waterslides" are part of the river. They are smooth and slick and you can slide right down. But, the water was COLD and the sliding could be a little rough, so most of the kids spent time jumping. Dave and Wayne snuck away at one point and were jumping off the big cliff. When Ty found out he really wanted to give it a try. I will admit I was a little nervous, but not Ty. When his turn came he didn't even hesitate, just went for it, and loved it!
It is hard to tell in the picture but the spot he jumped from is where you see a person at the top right of the picture.
Everyone else spent a lot of time jumping from this smaller cliff. Here Bryce is waiting his turn behind his cousin Corrine. Paige did not try it this day but went back another day with some cousins and had a great time jumping too. One day we drove to Sedona. We stopped at another state park (Red Rock, I think) with Dave's sisters Wendy and Beth and their families. The sisters families headed out on a hike, while Dave, Bryce and Ty decided to try the bike trail. Paige and Brett did not want to hike so we hung out at the visitors center. The bike trail ended up being really short so we headed back to Flagstaff and discovered that the A/C had gone out in the van. Not a huge deal in the mountains of Flagstaff, but not good for the long drive home. So, we took the van in and spent the next day and a half divided among the others Anderson siblings and their activities.
We spent another morning driving up to the ski resort, where some played disc golf and rode the ski lift, which went up to 12,500 ft above sea level!
The ride up took about 30 minutes. Paige, Brett and Ty spent a few minutes at the cold top with their cousins and Aunts and Uncles, before heading back down. They ended up with pink sunburned noses and cheeks after the long ride.
