We Decided for Memorial weekend we would show the kids some activities that mom grew up doing in Arizona. We started out hunting for Arizona Diamonds. It was a great choice. They LOVED it!!
I told the kids to look up and Beckom raised his hands and yelled CHEESE!
Hunting for the "Diamonds"
Papa Joined us on the hunt
Here are a few of their favorite finds. They each got a bag full.
We also took them to hike the Natural Bridge
Down at the waterfall the beginning of our hike
This kid was in heaven. He took the lead with dad and you could hear "woohoo" echoing off the walls the entire time.
Standing in a little cave half way there
We made it to the bridge!
The end of the hike.
My kids did great. Frankie showed no mercy and hiked it fast. They kept up. Poor Beckom rubbed his sunblock in his eyes and by the end was crying. He was a trooper until his eyes swelled up.
We hiked the back way and my kids loved it. We set a goal to take the kids on an adventure all summer to see things that I grew up doing. Next up....a waterfall hike!
On Monday we came back home and had a BBQ and a little swimming
After dinner we took the kids to see Frankie's Grandpa's Grave and leave some flowers.
Nothing like ending a busy weekend with a cone from Dairy Queen!
