We left Walnut Canyon and drove right into the rain clouds...we thought our day was over, but I saw a clear sky in the direction we were heading. So, we took a chance and went to Sunset Crater National Monument. It was still drizzling when we got there and 3 of the 4 kids were asleep. We loaded them all up and headed out on the trail...no rest on this vaca...sorry kiddos.
The kids LOVED the all the volcanic rock...Taryn asked more than once if this REALLY was a volcano and if we were SURE it wasn't going to erupt again. Owen enjoyed giving us his version of the self guided tour...since I neglected to bring the pamphlet with us. And, I am pretty sure EVERY one of our kids went to the bathroom on the volcano...pretty sure they just wanted to say they did it.
After hiking around the volcano we drove up the hill so the kids could see what they were actually looking at. It gave even me a little better perspective. And then the kids were all dying to take pictures...they got some great ones...this was my favorite...

Umm... I think whoever took that picture of you and Owen needs to become a photographer! When I read that one of your kids took that picture I was shocked! It seriously looks like a professional took it! ha ha!
