We love Flagstaff!!!!

Flagstaff is amazing and wonderful and fun and a breath of fresh air. Grant really likes his school. Cole is in preschool and loves all "my friends" and "teacher." The boys are still Netflix addicts but we're working on that. We joined the Aquaplex, which has an indoor pool with waterslides, a fitness area and childcare, a climbing wall and a Sporties for Shorties class for Cole. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G
We have a lake in our backyard with ducks we can feed when it's not freezing cold, tornado windy or blizzarding outside. We have also seen some amazing wildlife just in our neighborhood. There were seven deer, including a fawn, grazing in the yard of the house on our corner one morning on our way to school. One evening at dinner time we had a bald eagle sitting still as a statue in the tree in our backyard. Just yesterday, a herd of 20-25 elk pranced into the meadow by our house, paused for a few seconds then pranced off into the woods.



We have also had amazing snow since moving here. Grant's already had one snow day. The kids love playing in the snow. I have learned how to dress Cole so that he can stay outside playing for more than two minutes before bursting into tears. He has to wear long underwear two additional shirts, a jacket and a coat. He has to wear soccer socks and regular socks over his long underwear and under his pants. On top of it all are his snow pants. Grant's new favorite snow activity is shoveling the driveway. You'll get no complaints from me on that activity.


When it's not freezing or too windy or snowing we get ourselves outside. Grant's school is just over a mile from our house so I have walked him to school and I've walked to pick him up from school. It's great exercise. The boys love playing outside.
