Since they were so busy having fun, I don't have a lot of stories to share about that week, but there are plenty of pics!
Here is a picture, taken by Alexia, from the plane (obviously).
We aren't sure what geographic area this picture represents, but I think it was taken right about the time I received that text message from Tanya which informed me that she just might start tossing cookies.
Rumor has it that they had a mostly uneventful flight (except for that text message)... although it seems that Tanya was rather surprised when Alexia pulled out a pair of full sized adult scissors from her backpack during mid-flight.
We're not sure how she pulled that off, but no arrests were made.
Based on the order of the pictures in the camera, it looks like they started off dyeing Easter Eggs at Nana & Poppy's with Bette & Ron on the picture perfect outdoor patio.
Sometime during the week they managed to escape from town to enjoy an authentic horse ride out in the Arizona desert.
The trail ride included an authentic deaf Cowboy-Ranch hand with an authentic name: Rusty. Unbelievably, no one actually took a picture of just Rusty, so I'll blow him up for you out of the pic above.
If you know Rusty, be sure to let him know that THE GIRLS HAD A LOT OF FUN!
They rode past real, live, full-size cactus and had a view of the local lake. How often do you get a lake view from a desert? Not often enough I'm guessing.
On a different day, the gang headed out to old town for some ice cream at the world famous Sugar Bowl.
They also managed to connect with Kari, Troy & the boys for some spring swimming and Smores at Nana and Poppy's.
During their spring break they also found time to go visit the zoo.
Then, more swimming.
And socializing.
And picture posing.
Before they knew it, the time had come to return home. Here is another photo from Alexia from an unknown location.
Finally, tanned and tired the girls came back home to our own zoo where we've fallen right back into the groove with doctor appointments, school, homework, gymnastics and, of course, dogs.
We hope you all had a spring break as relaxing and enjoyable as you were expecting.
