The Chiricahua National Park

We went on a mini family vacation. We went out to eat at this cute little apple restaurant, stayed in a hotel, and went swimming. The next morning we went to the Chiricahua National Park where we went on a hike, caught lizards and had a picnic lunch. Marlee did great and loved being in the snugli while we hiked. Then we went and picked a bunch of apples and some prickly pears to can. Later that night we found one of the few Krispy Kreme's left and Marlee got to try her first donut- which she loved. Clayton is a huge sugar fan and when he got to what I think was his 3rd donut he handed it to Laun and said here you can have this- I don't feel so good today. We had a great time and the boys have quite the lizard collection now.
