Spring Break in Arizona 2011...


This is the view that inspired me to blog again...


Chad's parents winter in Arizona these days. We decided to head down for a Spring Break visit. We had such a great time.


They have a great house with a pool and hot tub in the backyard. The weather was gorgeous. We spent most of our time hanging out by the pool and relaxing. I actually read two books in the week we were there, which for me is amazing.

The pool was as good as a playpen for the boys. They entertained themselves for hours.



Claire loved the water too. Every time I took her out she would try to crawl away from me backwards toward the pool. She hoped that if she backed away she could sneak back in the water without me noticing.

We spent a day at the Science Center. Alec was the audience participant in this presentation. He was so thrilled.

We saw the famous Body Works exhibit. The boys were fascinated.

Abbie was in St. Louis for two weeks spending time with my parents and her cousins.





One of the highlights was our trip to the Grand Canyon. It was absolutely breathtaking. We were so glad we made the effort to drive over we were all truly amazed.










































Such a great Vacation!

Yeah - so glad you blogged again. Those are some spectacular sites. The one time my family went to the grand canyon was while I was on my mission. They send me a cassette tape to listen to their vacation - how thoughtful a?!

Fun spring break!
