History

Jim was headed to Camp Verde for a few days. We thought it would be fun to tag along with him this time.

While Dad was out working, we played. We found there was more than we could ever do in a few days. So we just chose a few.

Montezuma Castle!

We took our time and learned all we could about it.

Although it was interesting to most of us, Ellie just didn't see the excitement.

Then on to Tuzigoot

ending our day in the pool!

The next day we took our time, did the girls hair and waited for Dad to get back.

Jim took us to Jerome, the "Worlds Most Vertical City". I think his favorite part was the windy steep roads through the city. Definitely a place I would hate to live!!



This is the #7 shaft at the Phelps Dodge mine. In 1937 this was an engineering marvel! The shaft is seven compartment, concrete lined and reaches down 3700 feet.


This head frame is the oldest standing wood structure. At the Jerome State Park.


Randi, overlooking the beautiful Verde Valley!


Elle loves to pose, she was excited to take a picture like her sister!
and there always has to be some fun in learning history

But this time Ryder still wasn't feeling his best and just couldn't make it.

We had a great time learning some history of Arizona and being with our Dad.
