Our Arizona After Party

after a quick weekend trip to utah for kamber and shane's wedding, we drove back for an extended stay in az.  i figured if i'm paying an arm and a leg to fly out there, i might as well make the most of it and stay for a while.  for all the things we packed in, i have surprisingly few pictures.


 the girls were able to visit grandma at her school while she was teaching.  though they seemed quite timid, they loved it.  madison left with a drawing of belle, colored by one of laura's students.

 

we rode the double decked carousel at superstition springs mall.



and followed it up with the artificial wind tunnel.



we gathered at g&g lebaron's house and saw aunts, uncles, cousins and the whole works.



{madison was having a serious conversation on the phone with dan.}
 and we spent a lot of time hanging out at g&g skinner's house.  



my favorite picture of the trip - gma ellsworth.  she said she'd been wondering why i didn't come over very often anymore - and was surprised to hear we were living in missouri (despite the fact i talk to her regularly on the phone and remind her we've moved).  we laughed and cried and it was wonderful to see her and gpa.

we had a busy week filled with family and friends, playing games, and eating good food but by the end we were ready to go home to our own beds and be reunited with dad/dan.  thank you skinners for hosting us!!
