Sophie's First Vacation

Last weekend, we packed up and headed north to enjoy the cooler weather and some family fun. Our first stop was the Prescott City Square. They were having an Arts and Craft show so we were able to walk around a bit and let Sophie enjoy the outdoors. Since she was born at the beginning of the summer, the weather has been scorching and we could never really take her out. However, the weather in Prescott was beautiful! After our stroll around the square we let Soph experience laying in the grass... it was so cute!!!

A little farther north was a fun little pumpkin farm in Chino Valley. We stayed long enough to get a couple pumpkins and take some cute pictures of our little pumpkin.

Once we made it to Flagstaff, we checked into our hotel and went to have dinner with the sweet Stephanie Barber. She made a wonderful meal and it was nice to relax and spend time in her cute apartment.
Isn't Sophie an adorable Lumberjack?!?!

It was much cooler during the night up north so our little cutie had to wear her beanie to bed. We loved bundling her up in her winter clothes!


On Monday, we drove to Sedona (one of our favorite places in AZ) and took Sophie on her first hike, West Fork. The first half of the hike, Sophie hung out in the carrier facing outwards to check out the beautiful scenery. After about an hour and a half of seeing all the sights, Sophie got a little sleepy. So we flipped her around after lunch and she crashed. She slept the rest of the hike and got a lot of attention from the other hikers passing by. According to a man that had obviously hiked this trail before we had walked about 3 miles into the canyon and therefore hiked about 6 miles total! It was so nice to be outside and enjoy the fresh air. Soph girl was a TROOPER and so was her daddy for carrying her the whole way! Josh jokes that this is probably the easiest hike Sophie will ever take! After our hike, we went to a lookout near the Sedona airport and got a couple more pictures. We also attempted to walk around the main street but we were wiped out from our trek along the creek that we decided to head back to Flag.

On Tuesday morning we packed up and headed back home. Sophie surprised us both and slept the whole way. We are so blessed to have such a happy baby and a great traveler!
