Arizona!!! Days 1-3

Our family vacation to Arizona was finally here!  Julia's wedding is only a week away!  Justin, Maria, Granny, Grandpa, and our family all drove to St. George on Saturday to spend the night there and break the trip up a bit.

Day 1: Driving to St. George, and getting to the hotel just in time to go to sleep
About an hour from St. George Talon had a hard time falling asleep, and needed me to reach back and hold his hand.  It was definitely uncomfortable, but sweet.
Day 2: Driving to Scottsdale, dinner, and swimming for a bit
We didn't get to Arizona until around 5 or 6:00pm,  so Julia and Matt met up with us, and we went to dinner, and then Brock took the kids swimming.  It was nice to see palm trees!
Day 3:  The whole day Monday was devoted to swimming at the pool!  It was so fun!  There is a slide, they have an activity board with the days activities written up by time.  There is a little shallow kid pool that Talon could even walk in.  It was perfect!

Leila went down the slide with Uncle Justin

Then Talon got to play with Uncle Justin!


Nixon



I told Jace to do something cool at the bottom.  PEACE!

Twinners!


Talon got to go down the slide with Daddy, and LOVED it!




Nixon tried it on his belly (until he got in trouble)

And on a fun tube


Jace crashed on the tube!

Leila had so much fun with daddy on the slide!


Jace being cool again.  This time he didn't tip on the tube
 The contest of the day on Monday was hula hooping!  So fun!
Leila sure looks cute

But couldn't quite hula


Kash tried too




Nixon gave it a try


Bella

Jaylee


Jace rocked it!  I didn't even know he had ever done it!

Leah got in the zone, and was dang good too!





Since they were both so good, he made them try with one foot!  I love that Jace's tongue is hanging out!

 They gave all the kids sno cones for trying!





Talon crashed like this every day!  Swimming is hard work!
We had lunch, and then headed right back down to the pool for more swimming and fun!
Perfect view

A little obtructed, but still a pretty good view


 The next activity of the day was some trivia on History, and our team won!  It was Dad, Nolan, Dane, and Me.  Awesome!  We each won a free margarita at the hotel bar!

Next up was a bean bag toss




Matt and Julia drove down to meet us after work, and we had dinner, played games, and hung out until bed time. I love being on vacation!
