Peanut's Post #2

***3 excerpts continued from Peanut's journal, spell checked and typed by CurlyTop***

After the Painted Desert, on our way to Sedona -- STORM! Mom saw lightning two times! The Ranger said we only had 2 minutes before the storm would hit. We ran to the car and got in quick. Thunder, hail, rain and lightning! Little Man and Doodle were crying but I was too big to cry in the storm. There was so much hail it looked like snow. It stung my legs and covered the windshield.

In Sedona, we went to a chapel that was built inside a red rock. It was just a small one but it was beautiful inside. I even got to light a candle for a buck to pray for my cousin who is struggling. My mom prayed for Grandpa. Little Man prayed for Jesus because he's dead and Doodle prayed for her friend because she loves her. At the gift shop we bought a Rhyme Bible which is much easier to read than the HOLY BIBLE I keep finding in all of our hotel rooms.

Mom was sad about not getting to go in a hot air balloon (because of the storm) and Slide Rock so we went to check it out (Slide Rock). It was open and cold as could be! And we did it! We slid down the river over a waterfall, into the deep part with mom, into another waterfall and into the river! "It was all fun except the cold, but the cold was what made it fun," said Peanut. It was fun and we didn't cry even though it was the coldest thing we had ever done!
