Eric, Kaitlyn, Madelyn and I took a mini vacation to Arizona over Memorial Day weekend. We stayed in beautiful Sedona then traveled to the Grand Canyon, explored the old mining town of Jerome and went to a wild animal park "Out of Africa".Grand Canyon: It rained the entire ride up to the Grand Canyon, and miraculously stopped once we arrived. We enjoyed observing the huge canyons and was reminded of just how great God is. It was beautiful!
Out of Africa is a wild animal park where we were able to take a small safari ride through an open area where Kaitlyn fed "Humphry" the Camel and "Kuma" the Giraffe. To our surprise she wasn't afraid and really enjoyed it. There were all kinds of animals there, tigers, bears, snakes, panthers and a huge beautiful lion named "Lazarus." When the rescuers found Lazarus when he was a cub, he was barely alive. After 30 minutes of cpr, he came through -- so they gave him the appropriate name of Lazarus. He had an amazing ROUR!
Jerome is an old mining town way up high on a hill. Kaitlyn mainly enjoyed the ice cream and a very small park in the middle of this little town.
It's always nice to get away and just relax together as a family. We were able to visit with Eric's cousin Rebbecca and her her dad, Dan. Kaitlyn really took to Rebbecca and it was good to catch up with family from Minnesota.
Well, I took some pictures and have completed a photo presentation to preserve the memory of this trip. Feel free to enjoy them.
