Such a fun trip! This is just half of the pictures, but it's a good start :-)
 |
| Isaac catching a nap on the plane. I was jealous because we had to leave at 5am to catch our plane! |
 |
| These 2 goofs sat in front of us and read their Fablehaven books the whole time. |
 |
| Jane had to take her puppy for the ride. And her blankie of course. She loved looking out the window of the plane and asked when the plane was going to drop us off at Grandma's stop :-) I like her idea of the plane being more like a bus. |
 |
| Cute cousins. We went to a restaurant across from the temple one night and then went to see the amazing lights at the visitors center. Loved it. Temple pictures must be on braydan's phone :-) |
 |
| The troop at the zoo. This day was so fun seeing all the animals and cousins together. I loved the perfect weather, walking, and sun on my face. |
 |
| Such a cool zoo. Loved watching this giant tortoise walk. |
 |
| All the different cactus plants were so fun to admire |
 |
| One day we went to San Tan mountain area and did a hike together. I loved it! These boys were mountain goats exploring off the trail where they probably weren't supposed to..... |
 |
| Half of our group headed back when the trail started to get steep. Jane went back with Grandma and Grandpa and I thought Eliza would turn around for sure, but she wanted to keep going! And she didn't complain! Maybe there's hope for more family adventures with our delicate girls :-) |
 |
| Resting at the top! The sun felt so nice and a sweet breeze cooled us down. |
 |
| Boys at the top! |
 |
| These girls had so much fun playing together! |
 |
| Grandma made play-dough for the girls and they had a blast "cooking" us whatever we wanted. |
 |
| New Years Day was one of Braydan's favorites. Football, puzzles, good food, games. |
 |
| Eliza working on a puzzle |
 |
| On the 2nd, we celebrated Eliza Sue! She had a spoiled, fun day! Crepes for breakfast, with her own carton of raspberries. |
 |
| She got a new lunchbox, water bottle, game, markers, art thing, and her favorite: roller blades! |
 |
| The boys playing with Isaac. Gavin was especially cute with him. |
 |
| One of the kids favorite things was making bag mats for homeless people with Grandma. We all had a job to help. Eliza wanted to even work on it on her bday. |
 |
| Eliza trying out her rollerblades with Ashley and Jane helping her out :-) |
 |
| We spent a lot of bonding time in the car on the way to all our adventures. The only time it didn't go so well happened to be on Eliza's bday when Jane puked on her. Memories! |
 |
| For her bday, we went to Urban Jungle! Such a cool place. Rock climbing, trampolines, obstacle courses, balls, et. |
 |
| Eliza and Paris climbing together |

| Kids sneaking in the toddler land to take a picture with Isaac |
 |
| After urban jungle place and a park, we headed to Organ-Stop pizza. Coolest place ever! |
 |
| I'll have to add more pictures and video off braydan's phone later. But it was a neat place! |
 |
| I think Wednesday morning, we did another favorite: Served with Grandma at Feed My Starving Children place. Here's all the kids getting instructions with their hairnets on and ready to work |
 |
| After service morning, we headed to the Natural History museum. Loved this place. |
 |
| Kaleb and Mr. Mammoth |
 |
| Just walking under a Brontosaurus |
 |
| Outside, they had an old west section where kids can pan for gold. I had to drag them away! They were obsessed! |
 |
| Playing games with Grandpa :-) |
 |
| Thursday morning we went to an awesome art museum that was dedicated to western/native american art |
I'll have to add more pictures later!
