Arizona vacation

Now that Jeff and his family live in Gilbert and Drew's brother Christian and his family live in Chandler, we thought it would be fun to take a vacation and go to Arizona! We got to spend time with both families and enjoy the awesome weather. We had our timeshare to use, so we chose the Scottsdale resort, simply based on the fact that they had a waterslide. That is an essential feature on Scott's list of ammenities. Mom and Dad came along to join the party as well... With 4 adults and 3 children, it made the plane ride pretty easy! Once we got the bags checked in and did the security circus, the rest of the flight wasn't bad at all. We had exciting snacks for Scott and Charlotte, and both had an iPod to play games and watch The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. I will never travel again without those iPods to provide entertainment. So here is summary of all the fun things we did:

• We saw Jeff and Kelly's adorable new house. Kelly made a couple awesome dinners for us. Thanks, Kel!

• Charlotte became a little more brave in the water. She LOVED playing in her 'tiny pool'. We may get her to enjoy the water after all...

• We were snobby and enoyed having lunch brought to us poolside.

• Christian, Candacy, Sydney, Jill and Leah came to hang out with us and swim at the resort.

• Trevor met his 5 Arizona girl cousins. They all love him!

• We had awesome shaved ice at Bahama Bucks! Almost as good as the real thing in Hawaii.

• Scott and Charlotte had their face painted. Charlotte went with pink and purple hearts, and Scott chose the number 99.

• We played at a great place called Makutu's with Jeff, Kelly, Elle and baby Laney. It was an indoor play place with a HUGE tree house and tons of gigantic slides.

• Scott went down the water slide a few hundred times, played some billards and ping pong.

• Aunt Candacy had the magic touch with Trevor. She was able to get that boy to sleep instantaeously.

We had a wonderful time and were so glad we could spend some time with our family!
