We have done some great hikes this week....long and steep. Really getting the legs back in shape. This was taken from todays hike up the Munds Wagon Trail.
This is the view from Tuesday's hike to the top Schnebley Hill. It is fun to go from the valley of Sedona up to the pine trees at the top.
We are up in Sedona for a week of hiking and relaxing. Trying to get in shape for next year's 40 mile hike on the Rogue River in Oregon. 
Here is Andy at the top of Doe Mountain.
It was a quiet Thanksgiving for us this year. Karin's parents are in Australia so it was just us, Mom and the kids and granddaughters. Here is Mom with two of her great grandchildren. Audrey helped her Mom with a Christmas project by sanding in the garage.
This is the third weekend that we have been in California. Two USC football games and the craft show last weekend. Cole (our 1pound 12 ounce bundle of joy) turns 6 this week. Way to go Cole.
Mackenzie show off the work she did on one of Cole's presents.
On Sunday we drove to the Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo for Sue's 60th birthday party. It was a wonderful party. Tom in typical fashion provided the perfect gift. A walker outfitted with a boom box, martini shaker and two glasses, horn, rear view mirrors and flashing lights. It was great fun.
This weekend we went to California for the USC vs Stanford football game. Unfortunately SC lost after 3 overtimes. On the bright side we got together Sunday with Sue and Tom Barker and Wendy and Joe D'Virgilio. We have all been friends for almost 50 years.
Our good friend and neighbor, Sandy Tountas, passed away this year. The three of us have gone to the TCC to see Broadway shows for years. This has left us this year with an extra ticket so Audrey was able to come to see Shrek the Musical. She love it.
The Frazier's brought us back to Charleston for our flight home tomorrow and then continued on their way back home to Florida. Andy and I took a cab back to downtown and walked. There are beautiful churches everywhere.
This is the circular church.
This is one of the sweetgrass basket makers.
A typical entrance to one of the beautiful homes here. Another wonderful trip comes to an end.
