land of the sun

We headed down to Arizona for a long weekend to keep my parents company. They were there on babysitting duty while Dana and Rob were in China. We came on Friday and left early Tuesday morning. Not a lot of time to do anything too exciting. Just lots of cousin time which is exactly why we came.We spent our time...

--feeding children then cleaning up after children
--giving Lauren lots of baths since she only knows how to have blow-out diapers apparently

--playing the Wii or watching shows on Netflix. Dave started watching Stargate Universe at night after the kids were in bed. I watched movies on Dana's computer. Good chick flicks like Morning Glory and Persuasion.

--having a proper afternoon tea

--getting pampered at the Linder spa

--going to church
--eating as many popsicles as you can get your hands on

--playing at the park, eating pizza, holding puppies

 --playing in the backyard

--playing in the pool. For Dave, this meant sitting in the backyard and playing Angry Birds on his phone.

Our drive home was not nearly as uneventful as our drive there. The way home included a missed turn and consequent detour plus lots and lots of throw up all over the backseat. We were glad we came and got to see Mom and Dad and our AZ cousins. We will be back but definitely not in the summer!
