Merkle Memorial Trail
Grandpa Day
Better results today. We didn't let Lily get lost. We did the loop hike and the Vista trail to the top then over to the playground. We picked up trash and walked over to the ramada next door to throw it away. The lady there said we just missed a rattlesnake. It slithered by the ramada on his way home 
. Palo Verde trees have a nice bloom and we saw a few Saguaro blossoms too. Stopped by the nature center to see the reptile exhibit and a nice variety of birds out back at the feeders and water feature.

Not a good start to Grandpa Wednesday. Trying to work around my new schedule. Forgot kids get out an hour early on Wednesdays. Then I let Lily go ahead of us on the trail to use restroom and she got lost for 10-15 minutes. ](./dex2/images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall")
Lucky the trail circles back except for the .1 section to the parking/restroom. She missed it and we did a second lap to find her. We need to work on those skills 
. Playground and five buck lunches went better. I'm still in the doghouse, though.
