Jim, Heather, Cole and Mackenzie came over on Friday for the weekend. Saturday we all went to the park for water play. Cole loved it, the girls were more hesitant but had a good time.
Cole is a happy camper.
Sophie enjoyed the slide.
After the park and lunch we went to La Encantada for the toy store Easter egg hunt. The girls got ears and their faces painted to look like Easter Bunnies.
Andy and I went to California to participate in the "Crafty Ladies" show that I have been part of for 30 years. As you can see Andy has become an honorary Crafty Lady and sells lots of his woodwork and rocks. It was really cold in California but it did not rain for the show. We also had lots of fun visiting with the kids and grandkids and friends while we were there. 
Rattlesnake Canyon...on our way up to Sedona we hiked down Rattlesnake Canyon (not a very welcoming name is it). At the bottom there is a 30 foot waterfall and lots of running water still. 
Reilly is hoping I have a cookie for her after the hike down. 
On Saturday, we hiked up a side canyon of Loy Canyon. We would not have know this was here except last month when we hiked the canyon we saw a group of archeology students head up this direction. We decided to explore it today and found lots of pictographs and ruins. 
Sophie enjoys her birthday cupcake. This has been a busy birthday month for us. It started on the 6th with Scott's birthday, the 11th was Audrey's 3rd birthday, Mom's 97th birthday on the 22nd and ending with Sophie's on the 26th. What a blessing for us. 
We gave Mom a party on Sunday for her 97th Birthday. We had it in the living room of Desert Point and she had 4 friends from California and two from Florida come for the party.
Pam and Dillis came from Florida and here she is showing Mom's great-granddaughter, Sophie, the birthday balloons.
Everyone seemed to have a good time and Mom was thrilled. We are so blessed to still have her.
We have been having a great time in Sedona. Still some snow in places. These are some indian ruins we could see from the Loy Canyon trail. We are much father from these ruins than it looks (great zoom lens).
On our way to Sedona we stopped and hiked Peralta Canyon. This is the view from the saddle of Weavers Needle. It was a hard hike, very poor footing but worth the view.
This was an interesting sight on the way up to the top.
Still snow at the saddle.
