Flagstaff Day 1- 5/10/13



We left early this morning for a 3 day camping trip to Flagstaff.  A repeat of last May and mostly for Leah to visit the Deer Farm and for me to redo a hike that was closed last May.  It was a rough week in our household and all indications were pointing to stay home but we did not heed the warnings of the week...hoping to escape those annoyances and relax in the cool pines.   Those annoyances included a broken garbage disposal, my car breaking down, and on the way home from the mechanic, Tim got in a little fender bender which resulted in a citation for him.  That was the day before we left...his precious truck that we pull our RV with was dented and bruised, along with Tim's pride.  Did we really want to sit at our campsite looking at the dented truck that would remind us of the woes of our week?  Our troubles were minor and we decided to continue with our trip.  The first hour of our drive was fine but we did end up with a flat tire on the trailer near Sedona.  Tim did a quick tire change but there was some damage to the bottom of the RV but nothing major.  We headed straight to the deer farm, which made all of our problems go away.  Seeing Leah in her dream of being surrounded by deers is so wonderful!  I have never seen anyone so in love with an animal.  She was in Leah land most of the time where her imagination was running wild.  There was a fun parrot in the beginning that talks and some other fun animals including a monkey and camel.  We were there for a couple of hours but Tim was dealing with the tire issue and decided to get all new tires on the tire trailer...why not right?  After that it was time to head to Pine Grove campground where we stayed last year.  A cute campground near Lake Mary.  We set up camp,  had dinner and a campfire.  The weather is beautiful and cool.  It was then lights out!
