Labor Day in "SeDonut"









































Yummy Prickly Pear Ice Cream










Local Art - and I just love the decorated Javelinas!










Great lunch at The Secret Garden made even better by a local -
Yoshi the parrot & Sam - the Kishhound.
Maddie wasn't too sure about the whole bird thing.





























Amazing Wind Art







Which one's the Buddha Belly??
































Again...Maddie is such a great traveller. She tells us she's been to China, Mexico and now to SaDonut...otherwise known as Sedona. So...we loaded her along with the dogs into the van and went to the beautiful red rocks of Sedona. We spent a couple of days looking at the shops - including the famous Tlaquepaque ( http://www.tlaq.com/ ). We enjoyed hiking, the jacuzzie at King's Ransom Hotel (where Elvis insisted on a pool being built or wouldn't stay there) and seeing the - The Chapel of the Holy Cross ( http://www.chapeloftheholycross.com/store/) which was absolutely awe-inspiring.
Maddie serenaded us with her 2 favorite songs: Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley (again a banjo song) and Keep Trying by Barney. So in love is she with Tom Dooley (Kingston Trio version) she's named her Beta Tom Dooley - poor fish is bound to die :) Listen to the song and you'll understand...

Wow, beautiful photos. It makes me want to visit Sedona! What a great city. Maddie looks adorable as always. Congratulations on the potty training success. We have had quite a time with that. Miranda is very strong-willed and won't try anything until she's ready and it's her idea.

We are so happy to follow the adventures of Maddie and Zoey. I hope a reunion with all of the girls happens n the future!
