Aaron & Ashley Time

Having Aaron & Ashley near my parents is the best. We invaded their house (which is not a little thing with four kids) and had a lovely time playing games and going on adventures. Oh, and holding Annie, the doll baby:
Be afraid, Annie. Very afraid. 

They took us to Madera Canyon to this cool spot with a hollow tree bridge and a (tiny, tiny) bit of water. The kids were in heaven. Actually, I was too!

Catherine and her great love, reunited once again: 

Seth being Seth.
He made me send this to the Knoxes: 

Elise had some trauma climbing on the rocks, but survived: 

Elliot & Aaron throwing rocks in the water.
Amazingly neither hit the other in the head with a rogue toss:

Elise with the love of her life: 

Trying to win Uncle Aaron over: 

I think Aaron may have a new admirer: 

Aaron found a huge boulder and NEEDED to climb it. 
Which meant we got to climb it together: 

Boulder selfie: 

Ashley & Elliot joined us on the boulder: 

And, eventually, Seth & Catherine: 

After Madera we did what everyone wants to do when they visit Arizona in December:
go swimming! 
The heated pool was still a bit chilly, but without the wind we would have been fine!
Thankfully the hot tub was perfect. 

We love Aaron & Ashley! Every time we visit them we start seriously considering moving...
