The cabin was on the corner of these two streets, the street names are a perfect description of where we were!!!!
The view from the front.It has a wrap around wooden porch on 2 sides, makes for a perfect place to sit and enjoy the scenery.And not to mention the perfect weather, around 80 in the day and 50 at night, perfect sleeping weather (the windows were open)
Side and back view, here is also the big fire pit!!!!
Does this look like a cabin????All the amenities of home. I need to tell you a little history of this cabin. My in-laws owned this cabin for about 10 years, they sold it due to the untimely death of my MIL, it was bought and sold twice before my husband's cousin bought it, as her parents live just down the road, so it was such a pleasure to be staying there again. We have so many fun memories of this place and both our daughter and son were reminiscing about staying up there with their Grandparents when they were young.
This is what I looked at for 5 days, beautiful Arizona Pine trees, swaying in the wind!!!!
C.J. and Jesse
We decided to head up to the Arizona Snowbowl for a summer ride up the ski-lift. Just C.J. and Jesse did this as we have done this before and I did not have a jacket with me!!!The elevation at the bottom is 9,200 feet, on this day the weather was 56 degrees at the base. The top is cold and sits at 11,500 feet!!! It started raining and then hailing and the temperature dropped fast, It was 50 at the top when they left, but after the rain and hail it was probably closer to 40!!! This area gets an average of 260 inches of snow per year!!!!YES...this is in Arizona!!!!!
Have fun, snuggle because it's going to get cold!!!!!
Here's that rain and hail I mentioned!!!!
Dinner on the 4th was at ...where else Cracker Barrel!!!!
Grand-dude, Mimi and our little firecracker!!!!I want these rocking chairs!!!
Daddy, Mommy and Sweet baby girl!!!
She loved this little game and did very well at it, putting the little T in it's hole!!!!
Sunday July 5th, we headed to the Volcanic Cinder Cones area, just outside of Flagstaff. This is 13, 500 acres of Volcanic cinders and pine Forest. The famous Million dollar hill is here, named because on most week-ends you will witness dune buggies valued at well over $100,000.00 driving around and racing to the top of the hill. Camdyn could not believe how fun this was going to be!!!!
That million dollar hill was quiet today only a few people left on this long holiday week-end!!!
US!!!!
Corie, Jesse and Camdyn rode in the back of the Rhino today.Hang on!!!!
Will doing a wheelie!!!!
Boys will be Boys!!!!! MUD and a BOY... gotta ride through it!!!!
I cannot believe he did that!!!!Again, boys will be boys!!!!
Then we headed out to where the rest of the family were camping, since we do not own an RV, we rented the cabin!!!!!Here is Great Aunt Mary playing with Miss C, she took to her Aunt Mary very quickly!!!
Now let's go for a walk, since one of Mary's friend's 3 year old had just fallen and sliced open her forehead, we didn't take any chances of this new walker doing it on her own!!!!
Hanging out and having fun!!!!Pictured here left to right is Robbin, Mary, John, C.J., Chuck, Jason and Will.
Lisa and Ryder

posing at the lily pond.
Will and his little Princess and cousin Jason and his little Man.
Daddy and his little angel having a little conversation about this beautiful pond!!!
Most of the gang, Uncle Chris took this photo for us and Robbin, Kathy and Aunt Dawn had already walked up the hill, so not in the picture!!!
This little gem of a Pond way back in the woods!!!! A secret to most!!!!
We saw lots of animals, but the best was this small group of antelopes, pictured here are just 2, but there was probably about 10 or more. We(some saw these but not all of us) saw deer, antelope, rabbits, elk and lots of birds!!!
This was my view for 4 out of the 5 days!!! I rode in the back with the baby!!!!!Just beautiful!!!!
Robbin and Kathy in their Rhino!!
Uncle Chris and Aunt Dawn on their 4 wheeler and Mary and Georgie on their's. Ready to go ride!!!!

Jason, Lisa and Ryder stopped for a drink break!!!
Their cool custom painted Rhino!!!!
Uncle Chris took Jesse on a much anticipated horse ride, this guy's name is Bubba!!!!Here Jesse is giving him a nice brush, and getting to know him better!!!
Corie and Camdyn saying hi!!!I took Miss C on a long walk every day and we would always stop and talk to the horses or sit and wait for the many trains that went through this area every day, she was so scared of the trains honking at first but by day 5 she would actually be looking for them after hearing them honk!!!!
The brushing is done-check, getting to know Bubba better--done, getting to wear a cowboy hat--done!!!!I'm ready to ride!!!!!
Off for a ride in the woods!!!They saw a deer.
Have fun!!!!And she sure did!!!

What a wonderful trip to be along on. I know you had a fun laid back time. The fresh air of Arizona must be wonderful. I have never been there. My daughter and her family go real often. I am not sure which part. I have heard her speak of Phoenix. Blessings

Cooler temps? Oh my gosh! We need some of that rain they got up there. No hail, just the rain and cooler temps. Looks like everyone had such a wonderful time. What memories. I love the cracker barrel pics, they were so precious. You have a lovely family Jamie. Just lovely. Country Hugs, Sherry
This was a fun post. I felt like I was right there with you all.
What fun you surely had.
The little headbands with bows that your little princess is wearing are really sweet. So cute.
I could enjoy cabin living like this! It would be difficult to leave it.
Thank you for the prayers for my tall son/family. Greatly appreciate this.
Look forward to hearing from you,
~D~
