The girls and I left early Thursday morning for a long weekend visit to Arizona. Wendy, David and the boys moved into their new house in January and we were anxious to see it and spend some nice time together.
Our first stop was the Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks game at Chase Field. Luckily, they close the roof and crank up the AC during the summer time!
The boys are quite the baseball fans and were all decked out in their gear!
Two blue-eyed buddies! I love how quickly the boys felt comfortable with the girls! The D'Backs lost 4-1, but we did get to see a home run and even got a quick visit from my friend Chessa, who was at the game with part of her family!
On Friday, Wendy and David both had to work so we had a "jammie day" since it was so hot outside. We watched cartoons, played Kinect, went on the back patio to play with the water table and read books.
Allison even brought a few games from home for the boys to learn.
On Saturday, we beat the heat (113 degrees) at Big Surf Waterpark in Tempe. It was perfect! The kids all loved the wave pool and the girls even got to boogie board too.
Taylor and Allison attempted some of the bigger slides alone and we all had a great time doing the slides that were suited for all ages.
Wendy's sister Trina and her family joined us for the day too and gave us great discount coupons, which was an extra bonus. Although my girls had never met her 3 boys, they all loved being together and taking turns going on the slides. They were so comfortable and it was tons of fun! I actually got this picture of everyone looking and smiling on the very first try!!
On Sunday, we had a Girl's Day Out shopping all over town before meeting David and the boys at the movies. I couldn't believe they had never been to the theater and it was fun to watch them watch Madagascar 3!
Although we had to leave early this morning, I am so excited to have them closer and will hopefully get to see them much more often. Wendy and I have been friends for nearly 22 years already and we love her family so so much!!
