This past weekend, we took an impromptu overnight trip to my family's cabin in Pine, AZ. I've been dying to show Will all of the variety that Arizona has to offer and my mom was willing to babysit Sadie, so it was a done deal! This was the first time I've ever been away from my baby overnight... I actually didn't get anxious at all after we left! (It helps that she is crazy about her grandma and is also taking whole milk along with nursing now.) We invited our newly married friends Roman and Jessica along and planned a hike at Fossil Springs for the next morning. Well, the morning quickly turned into half the day hiking... because apparently the road to a much shorter trail was closed. We ended up hiking 9 miles roundtrip to get to the springs but it was well worth it though for the 2 hours of swimming, rock jumping, and cave exploring at the bottom. The water was really cold but once we hopped in it felt nice. I haven't done that strenuous of a hike in YEARS and the last 2 miles hiking out were tough for me. Thank goodness I had awesome hiking buddies that kept pushing me forward. It's always an awesome feeling to accomplish something really hard.
When we got back to Mesa, there was a happy little girl waiting for us. Even though my mom said everything went perfect (fell asleep without a fuss, made it through 3 hours of church, took naps, and was just a happy camper all around), Sadie has not let me out of her sight the past 2 days. I'm hoping we didn't give her separation anxiety... but I seriously doubt it. She is just a momma's girl above all else!
I can't say I mind one bit...
