Home Sweet Arizona

We had such a fun trip at the beginning of October.  I can't believe I've waited so long to post pictures.  They pretty much show the great time we had!

Wishing it was just a little bit warmer:)

We took a trip to the zoo.  The kids and animals outnumbered us.

The kids played legos a lot.  Some of them, too much!:)

We were so lucky to get to go to the Pine cabin.

Hiking, exploring, and swinging.  What else do you need in the mountains??

a TREEHOUSE!  My dad built this amazing treehouse.  The kids love it!

We also enjoyed some apples from the apple tree.

These two are quite the team.  They really do love each other.

So much fun to catch up with good friends!  It was such a SHORT trip.  Wish we could have seen all our friends.

The Garners heated up their hot tub for us.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for hosing a fun cousin party!

My nephew Max was the main event.  He was preparing for his mission and we gave him lots of ties, pies and pizzas!!

One of my brothers does a spook alley at his house.  Oliver was terrified.  Mia was mesmerized by all the monsters and wanted to touch all of them.

More zoo pictures.  I'm too tired to put all of these in order.  The kids took my camera at the zoo and had tons of fun taking their own pictures.

While we were at the zoo, my sister in law commented on how well we were able to keep all the kids together and not lose any.  A short while later I heard a sad little cry and a woman calling out "anyone lose a little boy named Oliver?"  Yep.  We were pretty good at keeping them all together until that moment!:)

Simon enjoyed the company of my dad more than the animals at the zoo.

Good bye Arizona.  We hope to make it back soon!!
