We went to Sunset Crater National Monument. Hannah is working on getting the richter scale to measure her earthquake. Sunset Crater in the background. Driving through the monument you could have sworn you were in Hawaii and seeing the lava pits. This volcano erupted about 1000 years ago.
The painted desert is in the background but you can't see it. As you are driving through it, you think you are in a painting of the desert. Truly amazing!
More of the painted desert....
Wapatki National Monument in the distance.
You can do a self guided walking tour, which we did....
The kids over the blow hole...their favorite part. It is a natural fissure in the earth which blows out 65F air in the middle of summer. It was like natural air conditioning!
The trio at the monument.
In the distance...
Sunday we went to the Rainbow Trout Farm in Sedona, Az where fishing is a sure thing.
Hannah had to hold the pole while I got the fish into the net above water.
Hannah's catch...

Supervising the catch.
We actually ate the trout for dinner on Sunday night. A bit expensive but you are paying for the experience which was worth every dime!
