Arizona 2011

We spent last week in sunny (albeit chilly!!) Arizona. We had a great time with my awesome inlaws! :) We stayed plenty busy and enjoyed seeing lots of family and doing lots of fun things. I feel like I didn't take many pics. I didn't take any at the Watson get-together at Amy's house and the 4 of us went off roading and I didn't have my camera. That was a ton of fun and we were totally in the middle of nowhere!

Porter, Grandpa and Stella watching a movie. Cuddle time with Grandma

Chris has a great zoo near his house that we went to this year. Here is Chris, Mike and Stella in one of the aquariums.


Grandma and Porter checking out the sharks.
Grandpa, Porter, Mike and Stella TOUCHING the Stingrays!! It was very cool and the kids loved the hands on areas on the zoo.
Enjoying the sunshine!

The stingrays!

In front of the flamingos, they were so colorful!
By the rhino, Porter was thrilled! :)
Feeding the giraffes!!
Hot tubbing in the backyard.

Helping Grandma make bubble bread.

One morning we took the kids horse back riding and it was so much fun. The ranch we went to had a midget miniature pony. None of us had ever seen (or heard) one before. He was SOOOO cute. He's the dark brown one in front. Super cute! :)

Stella guiding her pony to get ready to ride him.

Stella riding Cocoa.

Porter on Cocoa. He wasn't so sure about the pony, so I walked next to him.
Riding the Frog Hopper at Amazing Jakes. Porter and Stella are on the right end.

Playing Skee Ball.

Stella, Grandma, Porter and Grandpa--great picture of all of them! :)
We had Stefani watch S & P on Friday night while we went out with Steve and Linda to see Renee sing. Renee is Stefani's mom and married to Mike's first cousin, Rick. Renee is a VERY talented singer and it was so much fun to have a kids-free evening out! :)

Thanks Steve and Linda for a great time in Arizona!!!!!!! :)

We miss you guys, had such a fun time with you. It is always such a treat to have you come, like you said hope we can still do this, with school and everything, BUT trips are important too.
