Flagstaff Fun

Beating the heat is essential to surviving the long summers in Phoenix. We've had a couple weeks over 110 degrees, so we just HAD to get out of town for Labor Day weekend. The Rickey/Westerlind clan all headed up north to Flagstaff for a weekend in the woods.

Check out this sweet cabin that we're staying in:

We've been having a blast. The weather is in the 80's during the day (ahhhhhh) and even in the 50's at night. The house has been so fun since it has a ping pong table, pool table, and poker. Oh, and not to mention the hot tub on the back porch.

What does one do in Flagstaff in the summer? Why, attend the Labor Day Demolition Derby at the county fairgrounds! We all suited up in our best "rustic" attire and headed out for the show. The boys just thought this was the coolest thing ever. Let's just say the motto of the event was "smash it, crash it, trash it":

Here's a snippet of the main event:

Back to the cabin for more relaxation before we have to leave. What fun!
