Spring Break Fun

James and I did a 8 mile hike to Seven Falls in Sabino Canyon.

We spent a lot of time by the pool in March!  Here is Momma Z!

"Bacon" the Pig!  He ran over to us and layed on his back for a tummy rub, just like a dog!

Reid Park with Tricia, Amber, & Abby

Reid Park is a local park that has a little lake with ducks, a zoo, playgrounds, a stage, and baseball fields.  Tricia, Amber, Abby, & I spent a couple hours there one day playing frisbee, feeding ducks, and relaxing.

Tricia's Baby Showers

Tricia's friend on the right is getting married in May, so her and Tricia's other girlfriend pictured here were in Vegas for a bachelorette party the weekend of Tricia's shower.  So we had a mini baby shower with just the 2 of them.

Abby practicing the Rice Game before the shower started

The shower had an ocean theme.  The picture frame was supposed to look like an aquarium.  Momma Z made tons of these adorable ocean cut-outs with her scrapbooking skills.  Some are pictured here, and some are below. 

Slaving, I mean cooking, away in the kitchen

Rodeo Vacation

Rodeo vacation is a Tucson tradition.  Tucson has a whole week of rodeo festivities at the rodeo grounds, and all schools in Tucson have a 4 day weekend.   Our rodeo vacation was a busy and fun one!  The L.A. Villalpandos came to visit, & Tracy had 2 friends in town (see below).  
We tried to show the L.A. Villalpandos a lot of what Tucson has to offer, but time flew by & we didn't get everything in that we wanted to.  But there is always next time!  They were curious about the rodeo so we went there for a little while one of the days.  We also spent time by the pool at their hotel, showed them some unique to Tucson spots to eat,  showed them Bookman's (a chain of stores around here that sells gently used books, magazines, electronics, movies, etc.), and went to Trail Dust Town.  Trail Dust Town started as a movie set for a Western movie a very long time ago, and now it is a tourist hot spot.  We took our friends Jackie & Sean there back in October.  It has covered wagons, a fun Western restaurant, Western shops, a shooting arcade, a train, and a stunt show.
