Christmas 2012

Took this picture after having lunch at our local Mexican restaurant.

Slide Rock State Park, Arizona

 A fun day with Alexis and Luca at the Slide Rock State Park, located a few miles north of Sedona on Highway 89A. On a hot summer day the cool waters of the Oak Creek are a welcome way to beat the 100F degree temperatures Popular are the slick rocks, allowing sliding down the swift narrow channels.,

  Alexis even jumped off the steep cliff in a pocket of deep water.

Above, see Opa sliding down with Luca.


See a video below, Alexis is the second jumper.

We finished the day with a short picnic

On Herman's Birthday we all met at a Mexican restaurant
