Thanksgivng in Arizona

I'm still behind in my blog posts. We went to Tucson for Thanksgiving. My parents have a condo there and they go every November. This year we decided to go and spend Thanksgiving with them. Abby, Sam and I flew out on the Friday before Thanksgiving. We had a few days there and then Matt came the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. We had a great time hanging out at their place, swimming in the pool, Christmas shopping, and going to the Desert Museum. Matt got to play golf twice with my dad (even though it rained both Thursday and Friday). We had a great Thanksgiving dinner. On Saturday we drove to Phoenix to spend our last day with Amy and her family. It was fun hanging out with them and Abby loved being about to see Ashtyn and Kylan again. Rick and Amy have a Wii so after the kids went to bed we played that for a while. We played tennis and bowling. It was very fun but my right arm was sore for about three days after leaving! Here are some pictures of the trip.
Abby sporting the sombrero Grandma and Grandpa got her in Mexico.
Boppa with the kids.
Sam and I in the condo.



We spent quite a bit of time in the pool and hot tub.



It was nice to see the sun again...



One night we were in the living room and Abby disappeared for a while. She was in my parents closet getting all of my mom's hats and putting them on her head. She was quite proud when she came walking out without any of them falling off.



I was sitting on a bench in the bird part of the museum. I was right under a bird and made a comment about it being able to poop right on my leg. About a minute later it did! I just had to take a picture and share. :)

This is a video of Abby and Ashtyn playing at the playground by Ashtyn's house. I love the imaginations of six year olds!

Looks like you guys had an awesome time! I'm sure it was great to be in the warm weather again! I was just telling Sum that with all our blogs, we sure don't seem to "e-chat" much anymore! Maybe that could be our New Year's resolution! ;-) I miss you!!!
