Hittin the AZ

My company had a conference in Phoenix a few weeks ago, so Kade and Ava flew out to meet me once it was over, and we stayed with Jamie and Travis for a few days. Here are just a few highlights:

This is possibly my favorite pic of the trip, because probably a dozen of my pictures turned out just like this one. Every time the camera was out, Jamie's son Caden would sprint to the camera and shout "Cheese!". Obviously his depth perception was a little off, either that or he really liked the taste of camera, because he'd always get just a little too close...

There was this sweet park that Jamie took us to. It had a playground, a pond, a fountain to play in, and lots of dirty sand. The kids went crazy about feeding the ducks...sadly there weren't a lot of ducks that were interested. But the pond was fed two whole loaves of bread, so it shouldn't need to eat for a while.

Ava got hungry and ate some of the pond's bread...


So then there were these little fountain things that sprayed up out of the ground and the kids could run through them. There's probably a fancy name for it, but it was mostly a glorified "running through the sprinklers in the back yard" experience. Ava worshipped it. This is the face she made every time they came on...

Kade did this for about an hour with her, poor fella...

First playground airplane ride ever..very exciting...

This is my new niece Kendall...darn cute


And here is what they all looked like by the time we got home...

How fun! I am so jealous of the warm weather! Jamies new baby is such a doll! And I love love love the happy pond sprinkler face! Priceless!!!

That sounds like fun. A trip including sun, sand, family, and a spray park. You are really going to have to come up with something good to top this one. From the looks on Ava's face you are in for some serious sprinkler time this summer.
