Easter Fun, Swimming and the Desert Botanical Garden

Backtracking a bit to Saturday...We enjoyed what is apparently a rare thing in the spring in the Valley--rain all day. They need it, so we were ok with it. Besides, we had no real plans to head outdoors that day anyway.

Great-Uncle Mike and Great-Aunt Ruthie came down from Prescott for lunch, and some birthday cake--joint celebration of Dave's on the 7th and GU Mike's on the 21st!

Easter morning, Kacy enjoyed finding the eggs that he hid for her.





She also got presents from the big bunny himself, including a fun Dora blanket. Great for camping out (in front of the TV).





Posing in front of Boots' Easter tree.

Flashback: Picture of mommy on Easter, 1980 (the same age as Kacy) at her Mimi's house in Vincennes, IN.





Hmmm...any similarity?









Stopping to smell the roses after Easter brunch with her great-grandmother, Mimi.









Easter egg hunting fun continued at Mimi's.


























































Giving her Mimi some love.
















Kacy slept in her big girl bed at Boots and GrandDan's, also.


















The weather finally cooperated and we could hit the pool on Monday morning.














Going it alone with the swimmies....


























Monday afternoon we visited the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, to see the Chihuly exhibit. Blown glass sculptures are incorporated in the desert landscape.






















































A rare deformed saguaro.


















Prickly pear cactus about to bloom.












































Dave found a lizard to pose for him.











































We had another great time in Arizona, Kacy did great on the flight home (thanks to our portable DVD player and a Dora movie) and everyone is back to their routine today. Thanks, Boots and GrandDan, for a great time!
