Easter, Arizona, and Brewers

 Addison, Hailey, and Emily with the Easter bunny :)
A few days after Easter, we left on a couples trip with some friends to go to Scottsdale, Arizona!  It was actually HOT there! :)  And we had a great time.  HUGE thanks to Grandpa Kim and Grandma Kathy for watching the girls!  The girls had a great time with grandpa and grandma and did a good job of wearing them out too I think. :)
Here we are on a night out to eat...
After eating at this place, they had free gondola rides on a river with real Italian singers!  It was quite the experience and very funny as well to be on this little boat with a random guy belting out an opera solo.  Imagine floating on a little boat with your own personal singer.  Here's a glimpse of what it sounded like (sorry it's dark) :)  So fun!  
 One day we hiked up Camelback mountain.  It was such a great hike!  We loved it!  The end is like actual rock climbing!



 Of course the guys golfed a couple days...and here's a snake they came across on the golf course!
 And check out this cactus that has taken a beaten from too many golf balls!



One day, while the guys golfed, the girls went on a 2 hour horse back riding trip through the dessert!  It was crazy how in the middle of no where we were!  Here's me on "Smokey Joe" 

 Here's a 500 year old cactus!
 We came across a couple coyotes...
 And a great horn owl that had just had chicks...
 Felt like a true westerner!


And as always, it was great to see our girlies again.  I love them so much!!!  Here's Addy, Em, and Hailey in the tub.  At what point do they stop taking baths together?  I don't think they've ever taken one alone!  


The other day, Emily and Addison stayed for lunch at school and I took Hailey out with me.   One on one time with each of them is so special!  We had a great time!

 Then the Giants were in town this past week so Uncle Duane got us great seats!  So fun!
 A ball boy even handed a foul ball to the girls!! :)  Big highlight!
