Fall Break Retreat

We are never on this blog anymore. It's very unfortunate but given the hecticness of our new life and schedules, something had to temporarily go and sadly it was the blog. We are on fall break now though and have a moment to pause and breathe.

We went up to Flagstaff for the weekend to get away. It's pretty cold up there, a brisk 45 degrees, so we rented a small cabin. The cabin had a small, wood burning fireplace inside to keep us warm. In the morning, we had drink coffee and cocoa by a campfire while Roland ran around exploring.

Our little cabin that we rented for the night. No one else was around so we had the whole campground to ourselves. 

 Roland especially loved that nobody was around because he was free to run without a leash.

Owen liked being able to explore, play with sticks, chase prairie dogs, and be in a place that felt like winter. 

 We came across a stick tent that some wonderfully creative person had built.

 Overall, it was a much needed break and family time.
