Flagstaff

During our Spring Break, we decided to take a short trip north to Flagstaff.  We love to explore Arizona!  On the drive up, we stopped for lunch at Rock Springs Cafe - they have delicious pie!!


Next, we stopped at Montezuma Castle National Monument, a little south of Flagstaff...




FYI- I don't think Claire or Jake unplugged themselves from their camelbaks much during our visit here.  :)







This picture of Jake is a gem...



When we got to our hotel, we were worn out, so we took a tv break :)



Then off to the Lowell Observatory! This was our first time here, and it was a cool place!  Did you know they discovered Pluto here?  










Airplane Claire!



What kid doesn't love a hotel pool?!... 



We spent the next morning, wandering downtown Flagstaff.  There are some fun shops and restaurants!  Everyone loves gelato at 10am! :)



We found this fun candle store where the kids could dip their own candles in colored wax - through persuasion from mommy, they all chose Easter eggs to hang on our Easter tree :)






I didn't pose this I promise - Jake can be such a sweet big brother...


Yes, we bought this...



Lunch time!


The big kids got their own table!


Fun trips always end with sleeping kids on the car ride home... :)
