Arizona

The kids had thier first commercial airplane ride this weekend when we went to Arizona to visit family. They loved it! We got to go on a big plane into Phoenix and then take a little plane into Yuma.


Once we got there they wasted no time at all in finding some fun toys to play on! Jason didn't seem to mind taking Clayton for a ride in the Artic Cat. And Sara thought she looked just divine on the shiny motorcycle.



While we were there we stuffed the days full of tons of fun! Saturday we took the kids to the river. They haven't ever been to a beach so they loved the sandbar. My brother Charlie gave us all some fun thrills with his dare devil boat driving. Jason and the kids spent the day digging trenches and building mountains in the wet sand. I forgot how fun a small town can be. Everyone knows everyone and friends are everywhere you look. There is no worrying about what people think or being judged. We were just all there to have a great time, and that we did. The second day we took the kids to some great parks with giant castles. Once we got hot we ended back down by another part of the lake right under a train bridge to have a yummy picnic. The kids loved splashing in the water and every time a train would go racing over the bridge above us the kids would break out into song.

The kids had so much fun getting to know their Uncle Charlie! Sara decided he needed to come have a sleep over and he could go to her school because big kids go to her school :)
