Saturday was Landon's birthday, and I'm glad he wasn't old enough to understand that. This is what he looked like for a lot of the day, driving in the car.
Since we've moved to Texas we really appreciate the AZ landscape better. Here are the Vermilion Cliffs.
We stopped at Lee's Ferry, where the Mormon pioneers had the only ferry to cross the Colorado River for like 200 miles. This is the house that the Lee family once lived in.
We didn't walk down to the actual ferry crossing point because it was almost a mile away and Landon was so cranky. But this picture was taken at the water near the house.
Then it was back in the car. We drove to Sunset Crater just north of Flagstaff, AZ. We went in the visitor's center for a few minutes and Connor LOVED the earthquake exhibit. What kid wouldn't want to jump as hard as they can to see if they can make an even bigger "earthquake?"
You can't walk to the top of the crater anymore, but we saw the lava flow next to the crater.
When we got home from our trip I asked Connor what his most favorite stop was on the entire trip and he said "Sunset Crater. It had the best lava." That's my little scientist.

Connor is SO cute. :0) And wow, you can really see how BIG a wagon wheel was, with Landon next to it!
