We took a little trip

Labor Day Weekend we decided to get out of the heat and take a trip back to Ft. Defiance, AZ to visit our friends the Keetos. Little did we know that it can get down in the 50's after a rain, even in September. Talk about getting out of the heat ; ) Patrick took almost 200 pictures! So enjoy a little sampling of his new found hobby.


They call this "The Teapot". It looks like a pitcher to me. Closer up, the handle looks more like a beaver standing on its hind legs. The rock formations are just magnificent!
Another bug for Miss Mary
We actually brought the infamous jelly melon with us, but left it in the camper when we went to Phoenix. Low and behold, it ripened!

Monday, Daniel wasn't feeling very well, so he and I stayed at the Keeto's while Patrick took the girls to the fairgrounds and the zoo. The Navajo Nation Fair was going on while we were there.

Imagine, Sadie and Emilie finding a horse to pet ; )

We left Ft. Defiance on Tuesday and decided to do the tourist bit.

We pulled over for the "scenic view." They weren't lying.
Isn't that a sweet picture?

Oh how sweet!

Great post! I also LOVE those pictures with Emilie and Daniel-so sweet!

Patrick is doing a nice job with the camera! It reminds me of Sarah. Everywhere we go, we come home with "interesting" pictures taken by our resident photographer. It sure makes looking through the photos fun!

Love ya'll

Kellipaige,
What a beautiful place! I love to visit Arizona. The desert had it's own unique beauty. Thanks for sharing!
