We had a great time and here are a few pictures of some of the highlights of our trip.
One of my good friends from high school was in town visiting to help with a 10K run in memory of her father who was killed in a bicycle accident in 2004. The run is held annually and it just so happened that we were there for it this year! She asked if I would like to run with her and I agreed. Only later did I realize that it was a 10K distance, that the first 4.5 miles of the race were uphill and that I would be running at an altitude of almost a mile high. Not having run much more than 5K since before Miss H was born it probably wasn't the smartest idea but, hey, some of the best times are born out of the dumbest ideas :) I can't honestly say I enjoyed the running part but I did enjoy catching up with good friends, the beautiful mountain scenery and the big breakfast burrito that I ate after I was finished.
Our little Snow Bunny loved playing outside, running around the pond and racing Hubby back and forth across Granny and Papa's lawn. She really enjoys green grass and sunny skies so we always spend lots of time outside on our vacations.
Papa hid eggs and Miss H had a wonderful time finding them on Easter morning. Whenever she spotted one she yelled "Oh no! Another one!" and excitedly ran over to get it. We got so tickled watching her run from one egg to another.
Her Easter dress was given to us by Yia Yia (Hubby's mom) and it fit perfectly! Thanks so much Yia Yia!
Mr. B enjoyed his first Easter. We think he makes a pretty cute little bunny too!
Hubby and I were able to go out for dessert and to run errands in the evenings and we left the kids in very capable hands. We wish Granny and Papa lived closer so we could do it more often! What a treat!
One morning we took the kids to the Natural History Museum. I was a little worried that Miss H would be frightened of the large dinosaur skeletons. I thought wrong! She loved them and asked if she could climb on them and slide down them. Lately she has been saying "I'm a wild thing!" since one of her favorite books is "Where the Wild Things Are". She is a wild thing indeed!
We had a great Easter and it was fun to get to see friends and family in the desert southwest. Thanks for a great trip and hope to see everyone again soon!
P.S. We think Granny and Papa should move here to be closer to us. Please?!?
