Parade, Pirate, and Park

Oh my. This blogging thing is not happening lately. 

I have one post in the works but I just can't seem to find the time to finish it. 

Racing season is upon us and I am trying hard to go to bed early and get enough rest, 

which is not helping the blogging. 

So instead of writing a short blog post that then turns into a novel, 

I am just going to post some pictures of last weekend's trip to Sedona. 

While I was out riding and running in the warm sunshine, 

Karl and the kids went to Sedona's St. Patrick's Day Parade

and had a great time. 

Max saw a balloon artist and wished for a pirate hat and sword.

His request was granted, including a belt for the sword, 

and Max was thrilled!

The boys spent the rest of the day at one of our favorite parks 

- Sunset Park in Sedona.

Not having enough energy (due to sickness) to take them on a hike, 

Karl opted for a trip to the store to buy yummy ice cream, 

once the kids needed a break from playing. 

I don't think either of them minded. 

But first they had to eat their vegetables:

We are very grateful to live so close to warmer temperatures 

and love to break out shorts in February! 

I even got sunburned on my legs! 

Speaking of warmer temperatures: 

Spring Break is almost here and we can't wait to go to St. George

and spend a week playing and exploring with Grandma and Grandpa!
