Easter

Easter Sunday was a full day.
Joann and Tom hosted an awesome party with great food, decorations and goodies for the kids. The Easter egg hunt was a blast!
The day was made even more special by the fact that Chris and Kelsey came over....
engaged!! Yay Chris and Kelsey. We could not be happier.









After the brunch, we all decided to go hiking.
We headed to the SanTan Mountain Regional Park. I found the perfect trail online called "Moonlight" and it was described as a trail appropriate for the whole family, including kids!
I did not, however, check and see how the trail loops or where it ends and we all ended up getting a little lost and hiking almost 4 miles instead of 1.2 miles.
This would not be a problem except for the fact that we had a tiny dog that needed carrying, two small children who needed carrying and a Vizsla that stepped on god-awful cactus balls. Drew decided to pull the thorny devils out of his paw with his mouth and proceeded to get a needle pierced in to his tongue. Poor buddy!
I got a cool picture of Collin next to a giant Saguaro cactus and a picture of a GIANT bug he found on a Saguaro. See below (the bug was almost the size of his hand)
All in all it was a fun hike interrupted by a few minor injuries and some sore feet and muscles.



We did manage to remove the cactus needle from Drew's tongue later in the day.
It was a three person operation but we got it done!
