Seguaro National Park

On Monday the kids played a bit in the playground at the house before we loaded up to go see Seguaro National Park.

We ended up doing our hike in the Desert Museum adjacent to (or in, I could never figure out which) the park. Lydia was feeling sick and was a total trooper to hike in that desert sun for forty five minutes. Before the little hike we explored the museum and saw all of its exhibits, and after the hike we drove into the actual national Park and admired the Seguaro cacti. They are my new favorite plant!! So human like and full of personality. We all loved them.

After the national park, we picked up some food at Whole Foods and headed back to the house to swim until dinner. Lydia still swam even though she didn’t feel good. She was determined to have fun no matter what! And we were so happy to be all together having fun in a pool together.

Being silly at dinner. We had stuffed mushrooms, gnocchi in vodka sauce, popcorn shrimp, salad and spaghetti. It was a Hodge podge yummy dinner.
