Rock on dude!
We had such a nice day! It was nice to get out of the heat and into the cool forest setting.....We all loved it in Flagstaff and Williams.....I guess thats a good thing since that is where we plan to move.....After dinner we headed home back to Havasu......we didnt get home till pretty late!
Look at my girls one looks like an angel and the other a devil! hmmm just like their personalities......

After seeing the Lake we went to dinner at The Grand Canyon Brewery in Williams Az...This picture burg is sitting on a handmade stool all handcrafted for the Brewery..Look at my little Angel praying in a Brewery(hahhahahaha LOL) Good food+ Good beers= will come back again......




After we left the property we drove to see the Lake.....tons of camping sites as well! will have to keep this in mind for the next camping trip!

Kaibab Lake in the Kaibab National Forest In Williams Az


Our Property...Can you say MOO!


After exploring all over Flagstaff we headed to Williams Az to our property....Our property is only 34 miles from the south entrance to the Grand Canyon. Located within the Gand Canyon Estates. Here is a herd of cows passing through our property.....



So serene...Flagstaff is absolutely one of the prettiest cities I have ever seen! right in the mountains.....This is the SanFransico Peaks, right by the Flagstaff Mall...Of course we had to check the Mall out....I cant move somewhere where there is no shopping......


After the park we went to explore Flagstaff, since this is where we plan to end up we wanted to check everything out....We have property in Williams Az so we plan to develop the property and move onto it, and in order to be closer to the property to do this we will have to move to flagstaff..It is so beautiful here...I love the actual seasons...and it was such a beautiful day! It is amazing that just 2.5 hours from havasu and it snows..who knew that AZ had places that snowed......

Eme swinging on the swing



Eme on the bouncy Dinosaur


After playing frisbee we walked over to the picnic area and had a picnic lunch, sandwhiches, mustard potato salad and pretzels, capri suns for the girls and drinks of our choosing for us...After lunch we walked across to the huge playground area where the girls got to play for quite awhile....Burg and Eme on the firetruck!

This is us starting out on our day trip!

We headed straight to Flagstaff....Once we were there we found the frisbee Golf Course @ Thorpe Park . This is 1 of 4 courses in flagstaff. So mark wanted to play this course first and then next trip we play the next course and so on. Such a beautiful park.....

I got up at 3:30 am to get in the shower and get ready to head to Flagstaff for the day with the fam....
Once I was ready we gathered up everything and loaded the car....icechest/snacks/stuff for girls to do on the drive/stuff for lunch at the park...ect....
We left at 5:30 am...

It was nice to sneak away for the day with the fam.....
