Sherwood family trip to Flagstaff - July 2016

Grandma and Poppy rented a cabin in Flagstaff for a week and we had such a great trip being with our family in some perfect weather. Here are some pictures of the cabin and the culdesac it was in... 


Russ brought a few toys along!

We went to Sizzler the first night we got there... NOT worth the money we spent there and we ended up at a different Sizzler than the rest of our family :(

Abby was so happy to be with her cousins!
This cabin had 8 bedrooms, so each couple got their own room and bathroom, then all the girls shared a room and then Jax and Noah shared a room. The first night we were there, the girls stayed up until way after midnight, having the time of their lives! They each brought their dolls with matching pajamas too :)


Just hanging out on the porch / balcony...

Abby and Davis played hard every day, and sometimes Abby had a hard time keeping her eyes open at dinner!! 


Day 3: we loved waking up to having the babies with us!! We also went to the "cinders" to do some riding...


 







 
Ellie choreographed the cutest little dance for Davis and Abby, to "L-O-V-E" and they performed it for us one night.






Day 4, we rode the chair lift at SnowBowl...



Abby and Russ took a nice little nap together afterward...
 
Our 5th day in Flagstaff was the 4th of July. We woke up and headed to the parade...
 











This yellow swing was Abby's favorite thing about the cabin...


... and this play phone from Ellie was her prized possession!

Day 6: Everyone kind of went separate ways on this day. Some of us went to Bearizona, some hung around the cabin, a few went golfing, and others went riding. Sophie, Abby, and I did Bearizona while Russ and Noah went riding...



 
 
The little girls planned their own dance and bought and crafted their own "MHS" shirts complete with their mom's name on the back - for the annual variety show. They even made one for Ivy with Danielle's name on back!




Poppy & Grandma enjoying some cuddle time with the twins!

These 2 love cuddling each other - Daddy & Abby.
We had the best week with our family and we're looking forward to having a place to escape to soon! Flagstaff is a perfect mix of having a forest-y atmosphere as well as the convenience of the stores and restaurants we have in the city!
