And of course, there is the desert that I love.

At Saguaro National Park East, we learned quickly that alternately keeping Eliza away from the cacti and carrying her was enough to get me onto Amazon that night and order a backpack baby carrier.

Plus, hiking takes a lot longer when Eliza stops to investigate the gravel. Eliza called all the cacti "ouch!"

Remember Addie, the Saguaro will always be your giant friend.

As I recollect, Addie used to point to cacti and say "Ouch!"
