Slide Rock - April 25, 2009

I have many childhood memories of Slide Rock, and my family would go every summer. We decided to take the kids one weekend, and we had a slippin' good time. Part of the hazard of Slide Rock is that is very slippery. Seth unfortunately slid and hit his head pretty hard, and decided because of his headache he was done.
On the other hand, Jared, Hayley, and Emilee loved going down the natural slides. They were a bit unsure at first, but curiosity has a way of overcoming fear in the end. Granted they did walk away with a few battle scars - scraps, bruises etc.
You can't see him, but Tank is sitting as far away as he could from the slides. He would become a little nervous for his brothers and sisters from time to time, but would always remain safely away. By the way he is the speck behind the two boulders. We love our water fearing boy!
I love the red rocks of Sedona. My kids are on the ledge here hiking out of Slide Rock back to our car. Along the way they found a painter painting Slide Rock on a canvas the size of a small car. It was pretty cool to see such talent and appreciate it.
