Arizona [3/6]

Evening walk around the neighborhood


Cool plants . . .

. . . and benches

We were sad to leave!


An old apple orchard down the road from where we were staying


Some interesting history about the orchard


One afternoon Mom and Dad took me to Jerome... a town on the side of a mountain. Here is the view on the way down!

There was roads and not much else. Sure didn't want to fall over the side . . . there was not much holding you up!

Girls Weekend

 This past weekend, Mom and I went to Erin (Yes, there is a place named after me!) to visit our longtime friends. Natasha is getting married in a few weeks. She had a shower on the Sunday. It was great fun to see them again.

 Before leaving on Monday...Mom, Aunt Wendy and myself went for a walk and some lunch downtown Erin. It's so pretty there! I got to go into a very cool little health food store and this publishing store.

Easter Weekend

:::
 Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Earth and heaven in chorus say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia!

 Our family, after Holy Saturday Mass. There were also some pictures taken on Dad's camera.. I'll upload one soon where Shawn's eyes are open...
 Easter Sunday with friends: Julia, Victoria, Gabe and Andrew
 Just the ladies [smile]
 On Easter Sunday afternoon, we had a big dinner at Nana and Papa's house. There was lots of family from Ottawa and even one of my Nana's sisters and her husband from Toronto came too. At supper we all started doing fancy napkin folds... here is Nate with his!
One of my 3nd cousins who I have not seen in forever, was at the dinner with her family as well. Here is Alison with her napkin!
