Visitors...

A visit from Uncle David and Aunt Dee Dee was something we all looked forward to! Its been a couple years since they both came to visit everyone here in Arizona! I enjoy family get togethers so very much. The Simpson clan is a VERY FUN family! Adding another couple Simpson's to the mix makes it all that more fun!

The plans were... spend the entire Saturday visiting with everyone, playing games and eating a yummy dinner together then on Sunday meeting up around lunchtime at Usery Park for a cookout and hike!

Saturday was a wonderful day hanging out at Aunt Jeneen's house!

Sunday was a little more complicated then we all had planned! Upon arriving, we were told NO FIRES! Well that threw a big ol' wrench in our lunch plans since we only brought fire wood and a charcoal grill! Luckily Dad came to the rescue with a small propane grill along with Aunt Jeneen heading to the local grocery store to bring back some fried chicken!

After the food issues were resolved it was time for some hiking. Uncle David, Aunt Dee Dee, Uncle Pat, Matthew, Jason, Ava, Liliana, Dillon, and myself headed off! Uncle David had the map and offered to lead us. He planned a mile and half hike to the other side of the mountain where there were play equipment for the kids to play on while we took a short break. After some playtime we continued on with our hike. We hiked a total of 3 miles! My 3 older children SHOCKED me with their hiking abilities... they also impressed our visitors!

After our hike, it was time to pack up and say our goodbyes! It was a very fun day spent with our family! Its too bad our visitors had to leave so soon! Even though it was a short visit, we had a blast!

Enjoy some photos I took over the weekend...
