Arizona
Saturday, September 29, 2012
First let me just say hooray for vacations.
We went to Scottsdale for a week and had a nice relaxing little week off from life! Granted with two kids it is not quite as peaceful, but definitely fun. We spent our days at the pool- they had a super fun "Lizard Lagoon" for Lily to play and floating around the lazy river in tubes! Adam got in his fair share if golf and I got to do a little kid-free shopping. Of course my kids are the ones who benefitted mostly from those trips!
We saw the resident bearded dragon, Gonzo, and went for a least one walk a day!
We also got to go to a Diamondbacks game! Luckily we had box seats so the girls had some space to move, otherwise we probably wouldn't have lasted more than one inning.
In Lily's words, "It was super duper fun!"
Sharks
Monday, September 10, 2012
We took Lily and Scarlett to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. Lily was in heaven running around, pointing out fish, sharks and jelly fish among other things. Scarlett was probably just happy to be out of the house! The coolest part was touching a sting ray! They have a little tub full of different kinds of the little guys and as they swim around you can reach in and touch them, gently of course. Lily loved it so much we had to go back a few times!
Even though it's called the Shark Reef, we didn't spend much time looking at the sharks! Other animals were far too enthralling!
Summer Days
Saturday, August 25, 2012
We have been spending lots if time with family, friends and hanging out. Adam has been and continues to be very busy with work and I rarely have any downtime keeping up with Scarlett and Lily!
Scarlett is crawling, rolling and loving her big sister! They love to giggle at each other and play all day. Lily is getting bigger and smarter every day! I know there is lots more to tell, but I'm just going to post a few pictures and let them do the talking!
Aquarium
Saturday, July 7, 2012
This 4th weekend, we had a little stay-cation here in Vegas. What this pretty means is we did fun things and I didn't cook at all. Ha ha I did make a few peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a few batches of pasta for Lily, but other than that my kitchen stayed clean!
We took the girls swimming, had some barbecues with family, and did a few other fun things! Namely, we went to the Aquarium at one of the casinos. We read it was a "best attraction for kids" and decided to try it out. While we waited for the show, Lily ran like a her usual crazy self. We managed to snap a few photos of her. Scarlett was being silly so I got a few pictures of her funny faces (reminds me a lot of Lily!)
All in all it was great! Lily loved the mermaid! She blew kisses through the water and put her hand on glass so Lily could hold hers up against it too!
