We went to Thatcher
Arizona for spring break to visit with family. We all enjoyed
the escape from snow.
Lined up from smallest to tallest. Matt, Lauren, Sydney, Kyle,

The
boys enjoyed helping Grandpa remove some dead bushes from the front
yard.

The kids helped decorate cupcakes for Lauren's birthday!

Playing outside in the warm weather was a favorite. Gavin
helped twist the swing up so Sydney could twirl around. She
said that she wasn't squished but I don't believe her.

We went rock hunting in the Black Hills area by Safford.
The boys want open their own rock shop now.
On our way home we stopped in Flagstaff and visited some parks in
the area in honor of National Parks Week (which means we got into
them all for free!)
We visited the Cliff dwellings at Walnut Canyon

The twins comment on seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time was
that it looked fake.

The twins enjoyed the close up view of the elk grazing along the
path.
We walked through the lava flow at Sunset Crater. They thought
the lava rocks hitting each other sounded like glass. They
especially enjoyed making their own "earthquakes" at the visitor
center.
Kyle, Matt, Gavin, Cam
The boys loved the ruins at Wupatki National Monument. The
twins loved the "castle" ruin, and Matt liked that the doors were
just his size.
