Oak Creek Canyon, Dogtown Lake and White Horse Lake

While in Williams, AZ we ventured over to Oak Creek Canyon.  What a pretty place it is.  I can only imagine what it must look like in the fall.   

Cassy loves to look out the window.  

One of the cactus blooms in the area. 

Timm loves drives like this.  

When the canyon opens up at the south end near Sedona the rock formations are spectacular. 

Cool refreshing water 

Cassy wanted in the water really bad but I don't think the fly fisherman would have appreciated it. 

We took Cassy Dogtown Lake and White Horse Lake so she could swim. 

It really made her day! 

And of course, she needs to roll in the dirt afterwards.

Bearizona

While at the Northern Arizona BBQ Festival we took time to visit Bearizona again.  This was our third trip and it gets better each time we go.  They continue to work, build and grow the amazing park.  There are new animals and exhibits each time we go.   Here are some photos from our time there for you to enjoy.

A couple of trips planned

It seems like its been forever since we've been on a trip but we made reservations for a couple of trips.  Labor Day weekend we are heading to Marysvale, Utah!  Yes!  We'll be camping at Lizzie and Charlies' and riding the ATVs in the beautiful Utah mountains on the Paiute trail system.

In the next couple of weeks we'll be heading south for the Northern Arizona BBQ Festival in cool Williams, Arizona.  This was our first contest ever so it's always like going home.  We're taking a couple of extra days for us to explore and enjoy the area.
