Arizona -- Sunday

What a great way to start our Sunday -- a family walk! We walked down the wash that is walking distance from Tom and Susan's. The kids dug in the dirt, collected seeds from the Palo verde trees and tried not to step on cactus (that is quite a chore in AZ).

Later that day we went to Josiah's birthday party (it was officially a birthday weekend). Josiah turned 10 at the beginning of March and delayed his party so that we could be there (what a guy). The kids had a super time playing games, eating cupcakes and running around at the playground. It was an awesome day for a party!

















After the party we hung out at Jeff and Stacy's house. Stacy cooked up an awesome ribs, potato, bread and veggie meal -- mmmm!! The kids met Josiah and Ezra's dwarf hamsters. Here is a shot of Ben feeding one of them.
After the sun went down, we went for a night walk. It was a beautiful evening. We did happen across a rattlesnake (good thing we had a flashlight so that we knew where not to walk). I sure wish that I would have taken a picture -- I guess I was distracted with keeping the kids far away from the baby rattler!!!
The girls had a special treat -- they spent the night with Josiah and Ezra!!! They thoroughly enjoyed it :)
