Toasty Arizona

A few weeks ago I took the boys home to Arizona for a week. The main reason for our visit was to see Christian, who has been in China all summer, and meet his "special friend." But we also packed in a fantastic week of fun despite the super hot temperatures. The best part about going home in the summer, sparkling warm water in the swimming pool. A super big treat!



Grandma and grandpa were even jumping off the diving board. That is really rare and made it all the more fun!


This picture is out of order, but this is Crew going down the 3-story waterslide during our stay at the Hyatt.
Of course we had to take some family pictures.







By the way, we loved Kim


Of course there was the yellow suitcase (prizes from inside)


Lots of jumping on the tramp


Slipping and sliding


And perhaps the best part of the week, our little stay-cation at the Hyatt in Scottsdale




Grandma and her guards


A throw-back tradition that night of fries and milkshakes at Johnny Rocket's









Are you noticing all the weaponry?


Matt and Cam flew over Saturday for a day at Sunsplash and then it was time to drive home on Sunday. It was such a fun week and a fantastic way to end the summer. Thanks mom and dad and welcome back to the U.S. Christian!

That picture of Graham on the trampoline is the best!

The "special friend" was in the family picture! Looks like we'll be having a big party in the near future. I love the picture of Grandma and her Body Guards... too cute!

These are great pictures Shannon! From your Dad jumping off the diving board, the pretty trio of girls, the adorable little boys and all the fun memories you captured!
