Our Arizona Family Vacation

I downloaded a bunch of pictures to post on this blog and to be honest in my tired state right now, I cannot find them anywhere on my computer so, I must start over, I will begin with writing about our adventures out in the Great West.

Anywho, we had the most relaxing vacation at Gigi and Papa's house in Arizona. We could be stranded with our folks at their place and live quite contently. Josh feels like a new person. I feel like a new mommy and Gracie well...she is still sleeping! Grace was an angel on the plane rides and kept everyone quite entertained. Even when we were delayed into the wee hours on the way home last night. The weather in AZ was beautiful, 80's and sunny. We got to the pool for a bit every day and it felt like we were nowhere near the Midwest. Even though this is home for us, it was nice to be in warmer weather for a week. Mom and Dad's place is beautiful, they really have made it a place to call home in AZ. The best part is that we need to bring nothing just their little granddaughter. Gigi even has the world's best toys - her fav. being the dolly high chair!!

We had Uncle Denny and Aunt Peggy (Josh's aunt and Grandpa Herb's sis and bro in law) over for dinner. It was so good to see them and Gracie is still talking about them and they brought her the sweetest little toy that looked like Teddy and a she loves it!! She read the book too over and over, a new fav. for our bookworm. What a treat to spend time with them:))

We visited the Phoenix zoo, (if I figure out my computer again, I will have pictures) and that was a great day! The Milwaukee zoo pass works for that zoo too. The girls did some shopping and the boys golfed, of course;) Josh and I even were able to have date night and go to the pool to lay out while Gigi and Papa watched Grace, that was the greatest gift ever! Gracie loved the pool and especially loved waking up Gigi and Papa every morning!! It was a wonderful trip and made us realize just how wonderful family time is...we are refreshed and ready to tackle the world again!

Life is good.
