Spring in Arizona

This is the time of year when I LOVE Arizona.  It is absolutely beautiful outside.   Today  (first day of spring break) the kids stripped down to their underwear, got out the water hose and called it a "beach day".  Which meant lying on their tummies, pretending to swim, in a 1/8 inch of water on the driveway cement.... okay, so they have a good imagination. 


I know those of you still shoveling snow may be jealous, but if it makes you feel any better, in a few months, our skin will burn as soon as we step outdoors, and walking from my car to the mall will melt all of the plastic in my purse.  So I am soaking it in NOW.

Yesterday we took a hike.  With all three kids. It was an adventure.  And Dora came along:

So it was a musical adventure. (Dora sings....nonstop).  

The boys had a blast climbing rocks,

 

throwing rocks, and even resting on rocks.

It is too bad the top looks like this :(:

But it also looks like this:

And on the way down we saw this:

I LOVE Arizona this time of year :).
