We took a little spring break drive out to Arizona to visit with Grandma Edith who spends her winters there. It was great to visit with her. We may have overwhelmed her a bit with the crazy that 5 people bring to a normally quiet house. And Aaron was / is going through crazy separation anxiety so whenever I'd get up from the table to get something from the kitchen for him, he would shriek like it was the end of the world. Nonetheless, we had a great time with Grandma Edith. We got to swim, hike, relax and enjoy the desert heat.

Sadly, Camelback Mountain was closed for renovation to the trails and parking lots Grandma told us so we went to a different one whose name is escaping me now. It was still a great mountain to hike. But it was HOT that day. About 90 degrees. We all had our water backpacks or a baby in a backpack. ;-)
This was halfway up the mountain, which was the top for us. We traded baby backpack / water backpack duties and made our way down after a little rest. Kyle and Emily did very well given the heat and incline. Aaron got really tired for us doing all the work and fell asleep on the way down with me.

Though we tried, we don't have any pictures of Grandma Edith from the trip because she didn't want her picture taken.
