The three guys headed out to explore the Lava Tubes on Saturday morning and then to the Aspen Grove, where "all of Arizona" had gathered to see the Aspen leaves.
They arrived home a bit worn out but excited to have checked Lava Tubes off the bucket list.
Lukas and Noah along with a friend of Lukas' spent fall break in Flagstaff. What a joy to have them here.
Since it was Friday evening, pizza was on the menu!
Fall is here! The Red Maple tree in our front yard is such a beautiful and joyous sight as I open the curtains in the morning.
We drove Noah back to Phoenix on Sunday. Bob had found an exciting trail south of Sedona that he wanted to explore. Since it was on the way south, it seemed fitting to stop. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and the water cool. So, true to form, Bob and Noah set out to dam up the water flow... some things never change.
Chicken Shwarma calls for pita bread. Since none had been purchased, the choice was heading back out to the store or make flatbread at home. Making it won out! Bob and Noah whipped up a batch. Note that Noah has adjusted so well to Phoenix that he needed to break out his warm Comfy to not freeze. How is he going to survive a winter break in Flagstaff?
Noah wanted to try out his new bike, and Bob and I wanted to take a hike. So we headed out for an afternoon of fall foliage exploring. It was a great way to spend a warm, sunny fall afternoon in Flagstaff.
Fall back and replace the battery in the smoke detector is the mantra of the Public Service Announcement. Well, we did not need the reminder because the smoke detector strategically placed in the middle of the cathedral ceiling of our living room began to beep, meaning the battery needs replacement. Fortunately, we have a few friends with tall ladders, and Noah was home for a quick visit and could assist. Bob and Noah did a marvelous job, and the annoying beep sound is gone!
