Arizona

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

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!
