Grasshopper Point

We took off work a little early yesterday to meet up with our friend Jereme for a trip we had been planning all summer but scheduling would not allow. Jereme told us about this great place called Grasshopper Point in Sedona. The drive was beautiful as usual and we even got some rain on the way up. The weather was amazing- although the water was SO cold!! After a little coaxing Kenny and I did jump off the 15 foot +- cliff into the water. We had to swim through the little stream and do a little rock climbing to make our way up to the ledge... seemed a whole lot higher when we were looking down! It was exhilarating and lots of fun! After we had all go our jumping and swimming in the freezing water we decided to go for a little exploration hike/swim. We hiked up stream trying to stay on the rocks, however I am very clumsy and found myself in the water a whole lot more often than the guys!! We ate wild black berries and mint and watched the fish swim by our legs. As we were walking we stumbled upon a dead deer in the water we were just walking through... it was SO sad. I am no hunter and haven't ever seen anything before... it was kind of like a car crash, you can't help but look at it : (
Anyway, we hiked out and got to the top just as it got pretty dark. We were the last ones in the park when it closed at 8. We grabbed something to eat and made the drive home.

We made some good memories on this Monday evening.
