Short trip to California

I saw an opportunity in our schedule to make a three day trip to California. After arriving on an early morning flight Grammy, Hadley and I headed to the historical Farmers Market next to the Grove. We indulged in some Chilaqiules and donuts.  The next day we spent with Opa, and other family members. And on our last day we went to Olvera street and the beach. We had a fun filled three day adventure.

Day trip to Payson

Martin wanted to take us up to Payson for a day of adventure. We started off by having a picnic lunch at a little park close to town. Then he took us to Tonto National Forest to see the largest natural travertine bridge in the world. After an ice cream stop to refuel we finished the day exploring Woody Canyon Lake.

Graduation!

Hadley had a sweet graduation celebration at school. All the returning students have red caps, the young man in the blue is headed for kindergarden. They did a couple of performances then the teacher called them one by one to receive their diploma's. Hadley was really excited about having cake.

Mothers Day

This Mothers Day Hadley and I attended a performance of The Wizard of Oz at a community youth theatre.  They put on full scale productions featuring actors ages 8-19.  Hadley so loved Dorothy she couldn't wait to give her a hug.  She was pretty leery of the Wicked Witch but after meeting her came to understand there was a young girl under all that makeup.

Vacation

We just returned from a week in Santa Barbara, where we had lots of fun visiting friends and playing at the beach.
