We went to a neighborhood church's sunrise service, and not only did they have a FREE breakfast after the service (which was really good!), but they had an Easter Egg hunt for the kids!

After the church, we walked back to Leslie's parents' house, and had our own egg hunt.

Then the Easter Bunny came while the kids were in the back bedroom...amazing!!

Joanna was mad because we wouldn't let her go in the house & get a drink of water. What cruel parents we are.

HAPPY EASTER!!

We took the Ody off-roading on Saturday. It got just A LITTLE BIT dirty!

Joanna didn't like it being dirty, and took it upon herself to clean the back window

The first thing Rachel did when she got out of the van was to point to the nearest hill & say "UP!" So up Mike went, with Rachel blazing the trail (and surprisingly, Joanna in tow!)

Look closely at this pic, or click on itto see it larger. Notice Mike (blue shirt) and Rachel (pink shirt) about half way to the top of the left peak?

There they are zoomed in a bit

The view from the top

Rebekah ran up the hill, and was pretty pooped when she got there!

Our "peak baggers"

Rachel wanted to climb to the second peak.

The wildflowers are amazing this year. These are blooms on a prickly pear cactus

our picnic site, with 2 sets of Leslie's aunts & uncles, and some family friends

Rebekah finally talked Uncle Matt into taking her for a ride on the quad

Leslie & Elijah did some target practice

We had a great time in the desert!!

 

Everyone except Leslie made it up the tree. She had to take pictures.

Mike had to keep a hold of Rachel the entire time. She has no fear and just wanted to climb through the entire tree

Mike "fell" down.
