Strange Arizona

Monday, August 9, 2010
I like living in Arizona. Sure, there are a few things I don't like about this state (heat, scorpions, politics, etc.) - but seriously, with pictures like the ones to follow, you have to admit there is a certain quirky charm about this place that I find very endearing.

My husband, brother, and nephew headed up to Sedona this weekend for a little canyoneering adventure and came home with these photos. Strange indeed...


I don't even know what this picture is about but the Ronald McDonald doll next to the javalina head kind of freak me out.


And these pink, prickly javalina statues freak me out even more.


My husband came home with some tacky souvenirs but he did not bring home the fartless chili (although with a house full of boys, that might have been a good idea.)


Not quite sure what this sign is for now but I can guess what it was for ages ago.

 

And it's definitely not a trip to Sedona without an alien/UFO sighting.


Or an alien cactus sighting.


It rained a lot while they were up there so the locals put hats on their flamingos to keep them dry.


I think I  need this fat guy mud flap sticker for my Camry.


Good thing these three guys are pretty strange so they fit right in.


Happy Mother's Day

I hope all of you mamas out there have a wonderful and relaxing celebration today!

We celebrated Mother's Day yesterday with a day trip up to Sedona. Sedona is one of my all time favorite places. So beautiful, peaceful, and cool (a great way to beat the Phoenix heat).



We headed up the canyon to cool off in Oak Creek.

 



And ended the day with some shopping at Tlaquepaque. Thanks to the little cars we bought the boys, we were able to enjoy a nice dinner and a somewhat quiet car ride home :)
