day-cation

sooo...j had a test 

(well, he has tests every monday)

but this one was especially hard.

so instead of a weekend vacation,

we took a day-cation.

and it was so worth it.

we went up to camp verde

in our little rental car

that gets air conditioning,

even when you are accelerating!

we hiked bell trail

and swam in the swimming hole.

some boy scouts were there

and it was funny to watch them jump off rocks...

screaming.

and we saw a RATTLESNAKE.

it was so scary!

and i am glad that he (or she) slithered into the grass as we passed.

here is the hole!
