Spring Break

Gary has been off of work for Spring Break this week. He has been sick the entire time, but his brother, Jared, and his wife, Lisa, and their baby, Layla, came to visit us. It is already hot, so we went hiking, swimming and shopping. The shopping trips were money well spent, as both girls got to wear their hats on the hike. Lucy wouldn't wear hers until I put Fisher's on. She wanted her sunglasses when she saw I was wearing mine. Thank goodness for positive peer pressure. We took a 3 mi hike up and back to the wind caves. We got quite a few comments as the parade of parents carting babies went by.
Gary's body has finally recovered. The kids loved it, for the most part. Lucy fell as she chased a chipmonk at the top. It was a little scary as she went head over heals a few times towards the brush and edge of the trail. Again, she ended up with scrapes and scratches. Her head is healing quite nicely from the last tragic accident, so I am confident she won't have scared knees or arms. Fisher just slept. He LOVES to cuddle so he slept the way up facing me. I figured that was it for the naps and faced him out on the way down. He loved to lick the textured carrier, but again fell asleep. What a good boy!
