Pic-nic season!

We took advantage of some warm weather last weekend with a pic-nic. We went to a beautiful place in Sedona called the Crescent Moon pic-nic area. We pic-nic a lot in the summer because it is cheap and fun!




Charlotte brought her lizard friend along.



Here she is hunting for real lizards. They kept scurrying across the sidewalk while we ate, as a result not much lunch was consumed.

The girls did a little fishing.


Olivia had fun throwing rocks in the creek.


We discovered that Finn is a terrible swimmer. Dogs are supposed to glide noiselessly through the water; Finn splashed and thrashed and looked quite terrified. We laughed.


Luckily we didn't have to jump in and save him from drowning.


Scott tried to catch a lizard to show the girls. In a desperate attempt at escape the lizard lost its tail. This is Olivia's "eeeeeew" face at the site of a detached lizard tail.


One tuckered girl after a day of lizard chasing and creek wading.
