Arizona Trip Part 2

We had a great time going to an aquarium on Saturday with Nancy, Angie, Preston, Callie, Amy, Ray, Noah, Heath, Ethan and Ivy. The kids bonded right away with their second cousins.

Hailee and Callie were inseparable from the moment they met!
Noah and Bennett were fast buddies. Bennett liked having an older "brother" that didn't beat up on him.
Touching the starfish and shrimp.

We got to go to an outdoor mall with Amy and Ashley and their kids. We actually walked outside without jackets in the middle of February!!! The kids went in a hurricane simulator that got up to 80 mph. They got a kick out of it! The boys enjoyed some golf in the perfect weather.


If you ask the kids, they will say the best part of the trip was when we went to an outside restaurant where they had fire pits to roast marshmallows. Amy took us to the best place! There was a big stage where the kids could go and dance and there were fire pits everywhere so they could roast marshmallows. We all had a blast!


Braden's highlight of the trip was when he shoveled wood pieces into boxes and someone noticed his hard work and gave him a dollar. He hasn't stopped talking about his dollar ever since.
