Notice anyone missing? Of course, the ONE photo that I look okay in Aidan was exit stage right.
There was this waterfall that is an easy hike from the hotel. It was really nice.
This was the view from our room. The waterfall is nearly center above the tree line.
The boys went on their own adventure trying to get to the top of the mountain.
The desert sure is beautiful. It was 100 degrees, but it didn't bother us too much. The resort had lots of shade and water and the walking paths were nice and cool.
What a little cutie-pie! Scarlet showing off her gams.
Agger looking like a big boy. Have I told you lately what a true gentleman he is?
Then Aidan went on his own hiking adventure. I was with Scarlet, Adler went walking ahead of us and would not return when I kept calling for him, and then Aidan starts screaming from the hillside. He got a cactus stuck in his leg! Suddenly, out of nowhere, Adler comes running down the path and scurries up the mountain to help his brother.
We had to get help from security to get the darn thing out of his leg. He was wailing so much and so loud - very embarrassing.
Yes, that would be blood.
There must be barbs on the end of the needles that hold the needle in the flesh. Some of them were in nearly 1/4 of an inch and I had to really pull them to get them out. Lots of people were walking by while all this was happening...fun. Turns out that people told Shiloh all about it while he was in his meeting. How did they figure out we were with him? Once the cactus was out he was fine and had to take a bath he was sweating so much. Adler took care of Scar while I was working on Aidan - can you believe that guy?!
We even got to spend some time with Shiloh.
I took the kids up to Phoenix for a day. We went to my mom's grave.
We visited with my Grandpa and Verdine.
It's so hard for Scarlet to get comfy with people.
Verdine's brother lives next door. They are serious ropers.
Verdine gave the boys real ropes to take home. We had so much fun. The kids were going crazy chasing around a neighbor's goats, pigs, geese, and even some tortoises!

Adler getting a roping lesson.
It was hard to say goodbye...none of us wanted to leave.
We even got to see Curtis! It was such a short visit though.
Back in Tucson...this is how Aidan and Adler hold their glasses now.
Scarlet and Shiloh "ching chinging".

It was such a nice trip.
