Craaaazy times

at our house are what we are all about. We took a two day old baby into our care this week who we thought would be with us longer but instead got placed with family on Friday.We were sure happy to love and kiss him while we could.!! My kids just LOVE having babies around the house. So do I for that matter. We took him in forgetting I had a trip planned with just my three oldest kids this weekend. I refused to cancel the trip and I am glad I did not. My oldest need time with me with out three small people always getting in the way. We have friends who have been in Flagstaff for a month so we loaded the car with us an some other friends and headed up to see them and for some great weather and good times. Trains seemed to be a theme. We watched some go by.

Toured some old ones.

We almost got ran over by one while being rear ended by our other friends (The B Crew) who were just as surprised at how quickly those fast blinking red lights came on and how those safety bars came down. SCARY.... This train was at the Pioneer Museum, where we also got tour and old hospital and see an Iron Lung up close. They had lots of old buildings and farm equipment to see.

It was kind of funny us three Mormon women with ten kids between us. Onehm assured the curious people that we all have our own husbands.:)Lightning was so excited to see his buddy E again. It's been a long month of June at our house while E has been away.

We played at a park and got rained on it was FABULOUS.The mountains, the pines, the weather. We went to the Lowell Observatory and missed looking at Saturn by just a few minutes. the clouds rolled in again and spoiled our fun. Sweet K crossed the chain that is meant to keep kids out and almost knocked over the original telescope brought in by wagon. Yep, that's my girl.Boy you should have seen the worker bust a move to save the antique. How much do you think that would have set us back in damages and repairs? Yikes........

This was the sunset through the trees as we left the observatory.

The next day was spent swimming and playing by a creek in Sedona.

I think my Summer plans from now on are always going to consist of cooler weather and a lot of outdoor fun.
