Brown and Green (and Leeches too)...

Last week my parents visited with two of my nieces, Haleigh (Brown) and Lydia (Leech)! :) Haleigh visited a couple of years ago, and is somewhat of a veteran traveler. However, it was Lydia's first time to Arizona. In fact, it was her first time flying. She is 11 years old and a total conversationalist. She loves fashion and hair, and should have probably consulted my wardrobe while she was here to tell me what could stay and what needed to go. She is as sweet as can be, and I loved watching her quiet excitement about being so far away from home. She took photos of everything. The palm trees, the yards of almost every house on our street (to not have grass is quite strange afterall when you are from Michigan), and a gagillion photos of our lil' guy.

Her first chance to see Ezra on the visit (he was sleeping for the night when they arrived)...


A view of Sabino Canyon before we hiked in...


We told Lydia to pose looking frightened...this is what we got. :)


Haleigh and Lydia enjoying the shade by the creek (it was 104 out!)...


Full-on swimming in the creek with their clothes on...awesomeness!



Ezra wanted to join in on the fun too...



It was a wonderful to have all of them here to visit!!
