Hello Active Families!

Oh wow, doesn't this weather feel absolutely amazing!?  I can't believe how incredible it is when it finally stays below 100 and gets cooler in the morning and at night. This is why we live here (and why we stick it out).

I had to share these fun pictures from last weekend's camping trip up at Sedona.  I finally got my neighbors to join us for a campout...it was their first time.  Everyone had so much fun playing in the creek, playing with caterpillars, hiking, exploring nature and sleeping in the great outdoors.  Take some time to get out and go north to see some fall colors soon...you won't regret it!

Thanks for your support of AZ Active Kids!
