Reason Not to lie about your children's age

👇

Important Tip about Segway Safety! 

Don't Lie about your kids age!

Sedona Segway-AOW is the Segway tour company in uptown Sedona!

We absolutely Love what we do, and we Enjoy showing families a Fun Time! 

Now we have to ask guests the age of their children when they arrive because parents are choosing to lie about how old their kids are when booking their tour. 

Kids however, generally don't lie when they are asked their age. 

We understand you want the whole family to have the experience, but their age is a factor for our tours! 

We will turn you away 

"You must be 12 years old to ride a Segway in Sedona AZ!" 

This is my granddaughter, and as much as I love her she will not be able to ride with me on a tour until the day she turns 12 years old...period!

I still teach her safety rules when she visits, because she is around them.

(photo shot for example only)

  

6, 8 & 11 year old kids are not heavy enough, strong enough, nor have the mental understanding of safety responsibility to ride on a Segway yet. Insurance requires all guest to be at least 12 years old to take a tour. 

Come on guys, what if something happened to your youngin'? 

Please make responsible decisions for your kids safety!!

Is a picture really worth 1000 words??

How do you FEEL in those things you SEE??

As I look at things in Sedona, I often feel so enchanted in the views. If you live here, or close by, you might too. Ever been here? If you have, I am sure you have parked your car in the most precarious places to get the best shots! 

(We blame the tourists for their inconvenient positioning... lol.   Truthfully it's Us too. We just get better over time in our decision making...    ....usually 😏) 

Now days, our norm is our cell phone to the face or in a pocket close by. We share our beloved Sedona in all her glory, and our most beloved pictures, our deepest regrets, happiest moments, precious children, grandchildren, lovers & even those we seemingly feel regret or anger for. We have hundreds, maybe even thousands of friends, joined several fb groups, Instagram, twitter, snap chat and many other social media outlets. 

🙉🙈🙊

While looking at these different social media sights do you always SEE what FEELS good? We post things to get an emotional reaction right?? Do some of the things we see and interact with make us Feel great or do they really get us uptight? Most of the things I see these days are amazingly beautiful not much of the old drama. It seems as though after awhile fb analyzes and pays attention to those things I don't like and filters them out. What about you?? 

(Hmm.. something outside of me pays attention to what I don't like and filters it for me. Well that's strangely uncomfortable).

💞

Well if we spend a good amount of time on fb or whatever, I hope we are spending time viewing positive inspiration, sharing those things that bring us Joy. However, when we are struggling, and sharing that vulnerable space, please find it in yourself to not judge others and be kind and don't blast them to more emotional struggles. I have seen people absolutely crushed or uplifted in what others post as it is could be controversial. 

(I have even been caught up in the agitation of someone elses views... oooops, my bad 😢) 

🙌

How do you FEEL in those things you SEE??

Share Love when we share things! The world is a troubled place. I hope to spend more time on the solutions and not the problems! Be Pro something indeed, however, lets make it a solution to a situation or leave it be. 

#Ilovewhereilive #Ilovewhatido #SedonaRocks #snowscape #bringalittlepeace #sharethelove

People are worth our energy! Lets change the energy we give 

 A beautiful path that caught my eye and A Little Love!

Sedona and her snow covered vistas are amazing!!

Some things creep people out?? What kind of photos do you like? 

Some of us just don't get it do we? We are all in this boat together...

Remember When?

What are your thoughts??

Remember when Holidays in Sedona would drive us crazy? 😏

Remember before the roundabouts at the "Y" when traffic would be lined up down Cook's hill and we all possibly had to stop at the red light? Ugh, how frustrating that was, however we all seemed to get to our destination in a seemingly timely fashion. 

(Photo Credit @Vyto Starinskas - We respectfully apologize for not adding the credit for this photo first)

Remember when 'Yield' actually meant you yield to the right of way? 

Remember when we didn't have to get up at 4:30 am to find parking at the hiking trail heads? 

Remember when no one had to pay for parking uptown? 😁

Remember when you could go to Tlaquepaque and could even run across the street and not get in the way of traffic, (well kinda 😏)?? 

Remember when we used to complain about the tourists parked on the sides of the roads taking pictures? You would see them trying to get the best shot of a moon rise, moon set, possibly even a sunrise, or a snow day. Oh, wait, what about when they couldn't even drive because their jaw was on their seat as they were looking about at the waterfalls or how magically the clouds would form and display themselves in our monsoon season? Funny how we would see our neighbors doing that too. So easy to blame the tourists, just not as easy to blame our neighbor "Bob". 😂

Remember when it was just an absolute inconvenience to get to the VOC, so we didn't really want to move there? Especially if we worked uptown. 

For as long as I have been in Sedona, and far beyond my arrival, people have been traveling from all over the world to come see the beauty of Sedona for varying reasons. Upon my arrival, I was absolutely in awe of her beauty. I even wanted to keep Sedona a secret 'cuz of how personal being here felt, and still feels to me today. 

But I am one of those people who has been in the tourist industry since my journey began here. For those of you who were locals, or who were my predecessors, I completely understood your frustrations with us "newbies" being star struck and just hoped you would accept our love for your little town. 

Working in the industry for 13 years, and as a business for the last 8+ years, I am very dependent on the tourism that comes to Sedona and all that it entails.

So, even with all the "Remember when it used to be difficult" in our Sedona memories, for me and my family, it has always been this way.

Are you a local? So how do you feel about tourism today? How did you feel when you were a tourist coming here? Are you able to find the positives even through the struggles?

Bearcloud Art Gallery in Uptown Sedona!

"It's been over a decade since I first met Bearcloud. I was but a meager man wanting to understand this "Sedona" thing. The motivating factor that brought me to Sedona was Bearcloud and his art. 

Upon meeting him and talking to him for a bit, he offered up a land tour in which he provided me with knowledge of the energies and the ceremonial ancestral locations. He also brought me to one of his sacred meditation locations where he envisions his artwork. We spent a few hours together in deep meditation in his "lounge" in the rocks and we had a moment with the Hawk spirits as well."
                                                                                                                                                                                                   ~Bear~

The Bearcloud Art Gallery is in The Village of Oak Creek inside the Collective. But now...he has a second gallery located in Uptown at the corner of Arroyo Roble Rd and 89A just after the Sinagua Plaza and before the Best Western.

"We here at Sedona Segway are honored to have known him for many years and we are SO excited to see his artwork in uptown! We hope you find his art inspiring and divine as it has embraced us both with remarkable imagery and wonder, not to mention, a man that has become a dear Friend. Please come visit his new gallery and explore the universe through his visions. It is a sight to behold!"
                                                                                                                                                                                               ~Lora lee~

Loving the daily ride

We get to share moments with our guests that are so unique. It is a blessing for us to be able to teach people how simple our Segways are and once they get it, they GET it!

The possibilities are endless once you get the hang of it!

Hey neighbor, "Whats Hoppin' in your Garden"?

Ok Guys, its that time of year again and i'm 'Hoppin Mad.' How bout you? 

😡

So for a few years now Bear and I have been growing our Organic gardens here in the Verde Valley/Sedona AZ. Each year brings more learning curves and dietary changes. Because of that, we are always looking for the next best thing to keep critters away. I finally found the cure for snakes.... I think, well we will see anyway. Its a hot one 😉

However we have NOT found a remedy for Grasshoppers. They are driving us nuts (some of these guys are ridiculously huge, and they just love to scare the buh-jezuz out of me.. I know they do it on purpose 😏) Hoppin' here Bouncin' there, eating this, devouring that.... They eat the leaves off everything except for our Watermelons. 

I am looking for advice on what works for you. All Natural remedies no Chemical concoctions please. We don't want to disrupt what we have going on. 

Looking for Feedback Please.........

Do you have solutions for this? Is there a concoction for the barrage of munchers? Do you have a special way of getting these critters to Bounce Out of your Yard??

Thank you in advance for your help!  #welovewhatwedo
