Picnicing and Play

Hazel and Anna

Applying sun screen before the day begins.

The hotel pool was a highlight for the kids. These joyous faces of Jimmy's aren't so much excitement to swim, as disbelief for how CoLd the water was!


Anna is a bit timid, and Daddy's teasing doesn't help

While following all the kids up this hill, Hazel fell on a cactus, resulting in dozens of needles embedded into her hands, arms and legs. Ouch! soooo sad, but she (and her mom!) were very brave as Dr. Scott plucked them out.




rock climbing and tree swinging...

The girls play ring around the rosies while the boys dodged Jimmy in a game of "bad guy-good guy". This game quickly became a favorite request at any stop.






for some reason we(?) didn't feel this sign applied to us

Poor Hazel! That has been my biggest fear with living in AZ. I sat on one as a kid and my dad was plucking cactus barbs out of my butt forever. Your trip looked like a ton of fun!

I love how you are able to capture the action in your photos. Great job. I love the expressions too. Fun to see. Thanks for taking medical personnel along on your vacation. Very wise, knowing the history of our family. Glad you had such a memorable trip.
