Since we have had such a long cold spring in Portland this year, it was great simply to be able to get outside and enjoy the fresh air that comes with spring in the desert. We take any chance we can get to get some sun on our faces these days and there is certainly no shortage of that in AZ!
These days, it is always so nice for us to visit with our niece, and Reese's cousin, Sarah! We so wish that we lived closer to her and her mom and dad so that the girls could be a little bit closer as they grow up! Seeing as how we hope to get back to AZ eventually, hopefully they will at least get to hang out more often as they get of the age where they can truly appreciate one another. She is one sweet little girl....and you should check out her eyelashes! If they made baby mascara, she would be the model for sure!
Playtime with her grandparents is so important for us too and whenever we head down that way, we make sure that Reese gets as much of that in as possible. Nanny loves taking her outside and letting her experience that AZ sunshine!
And of course, what kind of parents would we be if we did not make sure that she was well informed of everything the desert has to offer....even the dangerous stuff. No,we did not stick her hand into a jumping cholla....but this picture kinda makes it look like we did huh? Nope, just some good old trick photography!
All in all we had a great trip to AZ and feel fortunate that we are able to head down there as often as we are. No,it is certainly not the same as being there regularly, but we had a pretty good time.....and from what we can tell, Reese sure did too!
