Grandma & Grandpa Wallis' Visit

Grandma & Grandpa are so fun!

We had some delicious Mexican food at El Encanto and had fun watching the ducks.  Ivy started "quacking" during their visit :-)

Family Pictures

Kevin and Suzanne found a beautiful patch of wildflowers while hiking and asked if we would hike with them so that they could take family pictures of us.  I love how they turned out!



Tucson

We took a day trip down to Tucson to spend some time my cousin Jeremy, his wife Sae, their son Emmett, and Sae's family.  It was our first time meeting baby E and oh my goodness is he cute! We hiked the Colossal Cave and then had lunch at this amazing house that Sae's family rented for the week.
