Slide Rock Park, Sedona

One of the many great things about living in Phoenix, is that you can escape the heat and desert, by driving only 1 1/2 to 2 hours north, where there are beautiful mountains, pine trees, and it is about 20-30 degrees cooler on average. On Saturday we drove up to Sedona and went to Slide Rock State Park that has a creek that has natural waterfalls, and "slides" to play on. It was so fun, even thought the water was cold. And Sedona is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been too.
Emma and Julia played in the water the most, along with David, even though they were very cold. Collin would have nothing to do with the water. It was too cold for him and me (Heather). Lydia loved walking around in it, though that was hard to do because it was so slippery. David bit the dust and fell right on his back. :)
Me and Collin and Lydia. There were so many people there that day.
David cliff-jumped off of that red rock. Can you see him in the blue shirt? It was really high. I guess it was safe, because lots of people were doing it, though I'd never ever do that. David is fearless. I'd say he had the best time of all of us.
