Wupatki/Sunset Crater Loop

Camping, and the first night in months that Pete has slept without crying out at intervals throughout the night.

Selah's own tin cup

Pete's new foursie (he's got on a onesie, twosie, and a threesie as well)

Gargoyles

Finding the camp bouquet

The San Francisco Peaks, of Flagstaff


Selah and Petros resting at the entrance to the monument

The 30 mile descent (3 hours including rests)

Annyoeng! Lisa pulls Petros, Casson pulls Selah.  Wind pushes everyone back.

The most amazing view of the painted desert, coming up around the corner.

The 20 mile ascent into 32 mph wind gusts - 8 hours (including rests)

Over the crater and through the woods

Snuggle guys and spring babies.

This is Pet's "snuggle wrap."  It is size 3-6 months, the zipper is broken, and I sliced the footies open so his socked feet can stick out.  Yet he loves this thing so much, he can be so tired and fussy, as soon as we put this on he starts laughing, wiggling with joy and rubbing his face in the hood immediately puts him to sleep.  We can't ever wash it because there is never enough time between naps.  So, try to find "footed pajamas with hood" or "onesie with hood and feet" etc on the internet.  It is hilarious what you find, but you won't find one like this.  Let me know if you find one like this, we are desperate!

It was a long day.

Javelinas on the road in Prescott.

A whole herd of them!  Even babies.

After a long bike ride with our friends the Shapiro's, on the Peavine Trail in P-town.

More baby animals.  We watched these purple finches hatch and grow, learn to fly, and leave the nest.  The third one was so scared to fly, her daddy had to push her out of the nest.

Favorite play things

Playing in the kitchenette.  Selah makes, Petros breaks.
