We met Claire and David, Emerson, and Colby, at the Wild Burro Trailhead at the Ritz Carlton, yesterday morning at 9:30. Claire and David went on their way - to hike and have lunch at the Ritz, while Papa and I drove away with Emerson and Colby. We went hiking in Catalina State Park, then had lunch on the patio of Smashburger, before going home by 1. Papa spent a couple of hours in the afternoon, watching Tombstone with Emerson and Colby, filmed at various places in the area, including Old Tucson, Willcox Playa, and the Babacomari Ranch. Claire and David came to our house in mid afternoon. I made dinner and soon after dinner, Papa and the kids prepared to sleep outside on our guesthouse patio, under the stars.
We had a slow morning. I took the kids on a hike, through our neighborhood, to a friend’s back yard to see her garden, and to an adjacent neighborhood nature trail. We were back home by 10 and playing Go Fish, then poker with Papa. We had lunch together at Bottega Michelangelo before they started their drive home. We love having Claire’s family within two hours, so that getting together for a day or two is easy and we love the time with Emerson and Colby!
