Desert Hike

We really wanted to go on a hike 

while we were in Arizona. 

We hadn't been hiking 

since the littles came to stay 

months ago. 

And now I know

There is a reason for that.

I was a bit disappointed

when I was outnumbered

and we ended up at a trail near Jac's house

and not on one of my beloved AZ mountains.

But

I do not even want to imagine

what our day would've been like 

if we had tried a mountain trail.

because after this little hike that we did,

my arms were tired from carrying a 36 pound child,

E was tired of being head-butted or kicked 

when we wrestled a child into the carrier,

and have I mentioned 

that my little family 

is not used to the desert heat anymore?

So this close, short, flat hike was a good one for us.

It was beautiful!

We managed to keep everyone away from the cactus

and enjoyed seeing some birds, too.

What's in my Frosty?

How sweet.

Jacqui, Jenny, and Laura got us all Frosty's.

Yum.

How unexpected.

But yum.

Wait a second  . . .

 Yes, Wendy's is awesome because they let us drop fake bugs into a few Frosty's.

Yes, it was late at night after we had been shopping 

when we realized it was April Fool's day 

and we just had to do something.

Yes, this was the best we could come up with. 

Yes, we sisters are something like awesome.

Easter Baskets and Egg Hunts

Back on Easter morning,

baskets were filled with a few surprises. . .

We hunted for those treat-filled/coin-filled Easter eggs . . .

And after church,
we hunted again at Uncle Greg and Aunt Azzy's,
ate a yummy meal,
and played!
