Anza Borrego Desert Trip - March

Here we are on our first family trip for some hiking and nature time in Anza Borrego

March was a great time to get out for a nice drive and check out all the beautiful wild flowers

that grew over the winter thanks to all of our awesome rain! 

Natural Beauty! 

Mommy and Sally 

My 2little cuties!

About a split second after this photo was taken, Sally kicked her leg back
and this little cactus stuck into my thigh and stung like heck!
This was my first experience with a cactus poking me. OUCH!

Another natural beauty!

Sisters in the wild flowers

It was so bright that we gave them our glasses to wear for this photo!

Our tired little nature-loving gals fell asleep on the trip back home!

Time to duck and cover!!

The earthquake that hit in Mexicali on Easter Sunday was not felt by Mary or Sally as they were napping... however lots of preschoolers at Mary's school felt it and were shaken up (pun intended) by it.   This week the teachers are talking with the children and addressing their fears and going over earthquake preparedness drills; i.e. duck and cover.

As you may recall this is what Mary protested in the beginning of the school year and it really through her teacher for a loop (all of the other children in THE WHOLE SCHOOL hit the ground for the duck and cover drill, except Miss Mary).

On Tuesday none of the other kids in her class remembered what to do in an earthquake except for Mary who graciously demonstrated her protection defense proudly in front of the whole class.  Her teacher sent me an email this morning informing me of her awesomeness.

Hooray!!
