Movin' on up to size 5

Gabriel is still fitting in his old shoes, but is getting close to the next size. So, we went today for new shoes and here is what we found. What else, but Stride Rite? I didn't even realize that company still existed! :)

This was my attempt to get another angle, but I had to nearly pin Gabriel down on the ground.

I couldn't resist this picture. How cute! Acting like such a compliant child...

Sedona & The Grand Canyon

What a fabulous trip. We spent Labor Day week in Sedona and the Grand Canyon and enjoyed every bit of it! Here are a few pictures of our time in starting in Sedona. Below is the view from the visitor center coming in from the south of Sedona.
Bell Rock...

Don't touch the cactus. Here we were at the rock Cathedral.

A spectacular view from the Sedona airport.

Shopping in Sedona, trying on a few cowboy hats!

Jumping from rocks at Grasshopper Point. Mommy & Daddy took turns since the water was way too cold for Gabriel.

Two horses lived at the bed & breakfast where we stayed about 25 miles outside of the Grand Canyon National Park, South Rim. Gabriel went to visit them every morning and every night! He loved Twister and Laredo!

Strolling at the Grand Canyon Village.

Another spectactular view from the Grand Canyon!

Love this picture!

Gabriel was dancing to the music of the Navajo Indians. They performed some traditional dances and Gabriel loved it! He was completely enamored by the Indian's dress.

Our cute little boy at the Navajo Indian performance, playing in the trees.

Jumping from the red rock at Slide Rock State Park...

William's turn.

Then we hit the slide, how fun it was!
