The weather just got better and hotter the longer we were in AZ! We loved it! However friends in Iowa I think were getting sick of our snaps....because we started to get ones like this.....
 |
| We woke up and went on another hike! |
It was another perfect morning!
With another family picture....beautiful mountains in the back!
We took advantage of the mini putt putt and took the kids golfing before the pools opened
 |
Boys in matching outfits!
 |
Very Serious!
 |
| Mom got in on the action! |
 |
| Suns Out Guns Out! |
 |
| Kyle managed to get the most tan while we were there! |
 |
| After Putt-Putt Fred took the boys to the Commodities Classic (some big farm thing) KP and I opted to stay and enjoy the sun! |
 |
| They loved it....Kyle of course had to put jeans on! |
 |
| Checking out a new combine! |
 |
| Through the waterfall! |
One of my favorite snaps!
 |
| A smoothie....boys were still at the farm thing so I only had to buy one! |
 |
| The boys came back....having a snack they played and swam so hard that no matter what we fed them they ate! |
 |
| Playing with Dad in the pool is the best! |
 |
| The boys loved the hot tub! |
 |
| This day Kreighton swam for 10 hours! She made two little friends which is so awesome for her! |
 |
Fred just a big kid himself!
After the pool closed we went to another pool ordered pizza and swam for another couple of hours! And once again the kids slept very well!
The last full day....woke up and went for another hike...I ran to the mountains and met Fred and the kids there!
We made it to the TOP! This hike was awesome...a little more steep and got a little nervous because it got narrow and the kids could have slipped off the side so we turned around! |
Kyle found the perfect place to mediatate!
Kreighton joined in on the fun!
A screenshot of the weather in Iowa!
After the hike....back to a full day at the pool!
Happy Day at the pool....so nice the kids can play on their own!
 |
| Here we are ready to leave....sad kids when I told them it was the last day! |
 |
| Happy Kids! |
 |
| Sad kids....Kael does not quite get the thumbs down! |
 |
| Crazy kids! |
 |
The morning we were leaving....helping Dad flatten stuff to fit in the suitcase!
This day was by far the coolest of our whole trip which made leaving a little easier....but not much we all could have stayed longer! |
 |
| Before we left KP and I took advantage of the tennis and basketball courts at the resort! |
 |
| Her 1st time playing tennis...she had fun! |
 |
| Basketball! |
 |
| Look at the follow through! |
 |
| Happy Girl! |
 |
KP left a note for the maids....which the kids loved that someone came in and cleaned our room while we were gone!
We packed up and left...:( One of the 1st vacations I was on that I really really really did not want to go home! |
 |
| Airport....Kael pulling his own suitcase....he might be the youngest but does not want anyone to think that! |
 |
| Checking out the Airplanes! |
 |
| He was OUT on the airplane!!!!! |
It was a perfect vacation....we all loved every part of it and all the kids want to go back! Kreighton is already working on her Dad to go back next year....and trying to convince Grandpa Craig that next year that is what they should give us all for Christmas! We are so happy that James and Bridget found this resort and so happy that our 1st true family vacation was a HUGE success!
 |
| Back in Iowa....KP ended up in Urgent Care with ear infection and ruptured ear drum....they said she probably had an infection before we left and all the swimming did not help it! She was pretty miserable! |
