Cascade Falls

If you haven't been to Cascade Falls it is worth the trip! Take an extra set of clothes for the hike out, especially for the kids. This was much more fun than the Grand Canyon, just ask my kids.

Directions:From I-40, 15 miles east of Flagstaff, take exit 211 at Winona. Drive 2.3 miles north to Leupp Rd. Turn right and drive 20.3 miles to unpaved and unsigned Indian Road 6910 (between mileposts 5 and 6). Turn left and drive along this rough road 9.4 miles to the turnoff on the left, which leads to the falls overlook (do not cross the Little Colorado River). Grand Falls can also be accessed from Indian Road 70 (instead of 6910). This road is located 15.0 miles along Leupp Rd (5.3 miles before Road 6910). Follow Road 70 8.4 miles to the same turnoff on the left before the Little Colorado River (Roads 6910 and 70 join together just before the turnoff). I recommend driving along Road 6910 instead of Road 70. Both roads are very rough going and you will need a 4x4 to drive them. But Road 6910 is much easier going and faster than Road 70.

Silly Bird

Mango loves any pen for a toy. He will hold it anyway he can get it even if that means he has to be on his back! Silly bird.

Saturday was a really great windy day, one perfect for kite flying. Dave broke out the new kite, it was as much fun as we expected it to be. This cell kite can lift the kids off the ground, and it did, took Arden down the feild a ways. She came home all scrapped up and now looks like she is advertising bandaids. Never the less, it was "screaming fun!" If you could see her face, she was smiling the entire time.

Getting the ears pierced

 Ok, here she is really nervous.

All done.

 

 She was feeling so nauseous after getting her ears pierced, she had to sit down. But, she was happy it was all over with. She was really excited about this day. She has been talking about it every night for a week or two.
