We have taken a few weeks off from blogging because we have so busy having fun that we ran out of time! Our pictures are a little out of order but it takes too much work to rearrange them so we'll tell our story a little out of order. It's all good....
Two weekends ago, we got out of the heat of Tucson and headed up north to Show Low to go "camping" with my friend Madeline and her parents. We had an awesome time as usual with some new adventures for me.
On Saturday, while the dads were out trying to find some mountain bike trails that weren't closed by fire, the mom took me and Madeline out canoeing. We did a great job paddling ourselves around the lake and not running into or over anyone or anything.
We even got brave and took a dip in the lake. It was just like mom remember as a kid- floating in the cold water with the life jacket up around her ears. Aaahhh- the memories!
When the dads got back from their "ride" (all the trails were closed :( ) they took us again to canoe and this time, we swam all the way across the lake! In our life jackets of course but still way fun.
Madeline and I rewarded ourselves and our bravery with Red Vines upon our triumphant return.
And the dads relaxed and enjoyed the view from our campsite.
The weekend before our camping trip, we had a house full of family because I made my first communion. My great Uncle Jim is a priest and he flew in from LA to preside over the mass. Nana D., Mr. Walker, Uncle Adam, Aunt Erin, Sophia, Brendan, Aunt Mary Kay, Uncle Boo, Cousin Brian and Amanda and their kids Miles and Dane AND our friends Brian and Christina and their kids Camryn and Evan all came in to help me celebrate. It was so great having all this family and friends around- we are so very blessed. Even if no one sends mom the pictures they took. Hint hint.
Mom was excited because Sophia loved my Boris the Tyrannosaurus so much that I gave it to her. One less thing to take up space in my room.
Ginger was fabulous all weekend so we had to put in a picture of her too.
We spent our Fourth of July up at our favorite resort, La Paloma, racing down water slides, ordering chocolate milk shakes from the swim up bar and people watching- it was a good weekend but we are now done with all our weekend craziness and can relax for a few weeks. Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
