Sedona!

     We went to Sedona, AZ the weekend after Easter this year with Grandma and Grandpa Hansen.  We had such a wonderful time! Sedona is beautiful!  We hiked Cathedral Rock, and the West Fork trail.  Both were beautiful and very different.  Cathedral rock is supposed to be pretty difficult because there is a lot of scrambling required to make it to the top.  But Andrew carried Jenna through the tough parts, and I hauled our baby in utero and we made it!  It was one of my favorite hikes of all time.  Very exhilarating and beautiful.   The West Fork trail was beautiful as well!   I loved them both.  Jenna is a great little hiker!  Lucky for us she loves to go on hikes.  We call her our little mountain goat.
     One day, we went to a nearby town to the "Out of Africa" wild animal park.  It was really fun! We got to feed a giraffe carrots.  It came right up to our bus! We also got to see bears, tigers, lions, and more up close, there large fences separating us from those animals though. :)  They had a tiger show there too and we got to watch the tigers chase toys and jump into a pool and stuff.  It was a really fun place. We also went to the Grand Canyon one day, which was fun, but a little scary with a 3 year old because of all of the cliffs.  We did some shopping, swimming, and relaxing as well.  It was a very fun trip.  Jenna still talks about it.  Today, instead of playing, house or princesses, or church or school (some of her usuals), she was playing 'Arizona' with her toy dog Fido. :)  Here is a major picture overload.  I'm so glad we have so many awesome pictures to help us remember this awesome, awesome trip. :)
