More Arizona Fun

Wendy and I went on another nice walk this morning while David took Nolan to basketball and the girls stayed home with Parker.  Then after lunch, we drove a short distance to this beautiful hiking trail for a great desert hike.

 The landscape was so pretty and the weather was perfect.
 The kids buddied up, looking for unique rocks, wildlife and cacti.



 We logged about 4 miles of hiking and had a great afternoon!
We worked up an appetite for some chocolate chip cookies so the boys helped Allison with that before dinner and the Steeler's game.

We all got quite a laugh when Taylor clogged the guest toilet and Wendy didn't have a plunger.  So at halftime, we rushed out to CVS in search of one.  The employee laughed along with us as he helped us find the last one and we could both sense Taylor's embarrassment.  On the way back to the house Taylor said, "It's all about making memories, right Mom?"  
It was a wonderful weekend full of memories and we had such a great visit!
