Sedona trip; through a puppy's eyes

Recently my husband and I were able to have some time off together (this is a total rarity) and took a little trip north to Sedona with our seven month old White German Shepherd. I really wish I had taken the time to take a picture of how we packed the car because let me just say that it was a huge accomplishment with all the stuff we brought. The funny thing is it was mostly our puppy's belongings! I now have a little insight into what people with babies talk about when they say they pack up what seems to be their whole lives in the car for a trip with the little ones!.

This short three day, two night trip consisted of us doing a little hiking at Chapel Rock and some sight seeing and we even took a day trip to Out of Africa where we got a little too much sun and saw amazing wild life. Here in this post I'll show a few pics from both places we were able to visit.

After observing the awesome view of Chapel Rock, Mitzi insisted on a game of fetch with whatever logs or sticks she could find. Previous to this day, Mitzi would only wade in the stream near our house and would get super nervous when she had to swim in the deep parts, but here she really embraced the swimming and we actually had to put her leash back on for a while to drag her away from the water. 

The next day, me and the hubby dropped Mitzi off at a local dog sitter and went to Out of Africa. It was an awesome day and I even kissed a Giraffe (three times!)

The Kiss:

 I probably took 300 pictures of the Zebras but I'll just show one for now, they were super awesome and would walk right up to the but on the tour!

If you ever get a chance to go to Out of Africa I highly recommend seeing the Tiger Splash show! (the pics I tried to take of the Tiger going in the pool to the right had a big pole in the way....) If I ever go again I will defiantly have a different lens for my camera and will sit WAY closer... (and away from poles that block the the good shots!)

I made friends with this little guy and took quite a few pics of him :) 

On the drive home part of our trip we stopped off at the ranger station and Mitzi met some people and posed for a bunch of pics (White Shepherds are quite a site up in places where the dirt is red)

Only YOU and Mitzi can prevent forest fires

I'm really hoping this year will bring me and my little family more adventures that will give me the motivation to go on this blog more! It seems each time I get on here I keep saying I'm going to try and post more on here and then life happens and I get super busy! But after this little trip we took, I'm more motivated to take more time with my family and share my adventures on here!
