Hole in the Rock...Spring Break FUN

My parents have been visiting "Hole in the Rock" in Scottsdale since they started dating. They used to go there to kiss when they were younger. Now they just go there to remember.

Over Spring Break, we all went with them. Yes, all of us! My sister-in-laws with all of their kids, my own kids, my parents, and my grandmoter.

We ate lunch first under the ramadas near the zoo. Matthew was just happy to be with all of his cousins and especially his Grandpa Elmo.

Dalin always loves to be with his cousins. Here is him and Dakota.

After we finished eating, we hiked up the back of the mountain. There is a short trail that takes only about 10 minutes to hike. The kids were so excited and were so cute as they walked together.

Look at Matthew and Tessa helping each other as they hiked. Aren't they adorable!!!

The twins loved staying close to Mahala! She helped them when the trail got to steap and rocky.

Once we were at the top, the kids all had fun in the cave at the top. Here is Dalin with Menlo.

My boys and I at the top. It was beautiful to overlook the Scottsdale area.

All of the grandkids had a day that they will always remember. And it was fun to be with my parents and have all of us together to share something they love.

Dalin

Dalin is the biggest brother. He is in 3rd grade, gets good grades, and loves to read. Since he turned 8 in July, he was baptized and started Cub Scouts, too. He loves to draw and really wants to learn to play the guitar. He stays busy with his friends and loves to ride his bike. He has even started riding it to school most days. He loves being a big brother and showing off the twins but will also be the first to tell you that his little bothers drive him absolutely crazy. The stories he tells at school are hilarious and, of course, very exaggerated by the time they get back to us.

Matthew

Matthew is the older of the twins, well, older by one minute. He is always interacting with one of us. He asks me every morning if his friends are coming over and will wait by the window if they are. He loves to dance for you, but doesn’t always want you to join him and will tell you, “No. Sit down.” He absolutely loves animals and has enjoyed our new bunny. He is very curious about his world and gets into trouble a lot as he tries to be independent. He burned his hand on the stove, got his head trapped under a bed at Grandmas, and ate an entire cake for lunch one day. Yes, the ENTIRE cake, and didn’t even make a mess!

Micah

Micah is the youngest and has a heart of gold! He is very quiet and keeps to himself. He is very happy when he is at home with his things, surrounded by the people he loves. He reads to himself all day long and counts everything he sees. He can even count in Spanish, thanks to Dora and Diego. He loves to line things up and put them into categories. His little mind is always working as he figures out his world and the looks he gets on his face prove it. He saw the ocean in June for the first time and couldn’t get enough. The water was freezing and he was shivering, but he kept running and running with the waves.
