Last weekend we went to Walnut Canyon and paid the entrance fee. We had a week to credit that fee to an annual pass and I decided we should get one. I braved taking the kids by myself up to Tonto National Monument so we could get our pass. It was a new place to explore too.
Like Walnut Canyon, it's a bit of a hike up to the cliff dwellings. Wesley did the whole thing by himself and Lauren could have too if I hadn't been terrified of her falling off the cliff and deciding to carry her most of the way.
Stopping to get a view of Lake Roosevelt.
Unlike the other ruins we've visited, these you could get up close to. Kids found this pretty cool and Wesley was full of questions about how people lived a long time ago. He is bursting with questions and curiosity.
Trying the grinding stone. It was heavy!
Lauren deciding she was stronger than her brother.
Much more success when you work together. I feel so blessed by how close my kids are to each other. I hope they will always be close siblings.
Peaking around the desk at the ranger.
Armed with our annual pass, here's to a year of more adventuring!
