Mark had a conference in Arizona for a week so the kids an I decided to go with him. We loaded up and left at 3:00 in the morning and made the drive. It actually wasn't too bad of a drive. the kids did really well, thanks Jill for letting us borrow your car DVD player! 
I'm sure you all know that Arizona is HOT! Well, I didn't realize that even at 8:00 in the morning you would sweat just walking to the car. It wasn't too bad though, we spent our days in the pool or in air conditioned stores. We met up with our friends that live in Arizona and had dinner with them one night and then the kids and I went down the next day and spent the next day shopping and swimming in their pool. Thanks Catie and Colby, your place is very nice, thanks for keeping us cool for a couple of days!! The kids are still talking about how fun it was with their kids and wondering when we can go back!
I also was able to meet up with some family friends from when I was younger. It was fun catching up with the Holts and seeing how Arizona is in the summer. Everyone that I ran into kept telling up to come back and visit between October and May, we might have to try that sometime.
All the kids just became the best swimmers. Albie no longer needs a life jacket and does really well swimming across the pool. Garrett was a cannonball maniac. It took him a couple of days to get use to it, then he was jumping in and swimming all over the pool all by himself. Haylie even would jump in and swim to me then turn around and sim back to the steps, of course she had her life jacket on.
When we weren't swimming we were trying to find some place with air conditioning. HAve any of you heard of Dave & Busters? It is so fun it is like a Chuck-E-Cheese but for adults. You eat dinner there and then you can play different arcade games and they even had a bowling alley. We played here a couple of nights when Mark would get home. The kids absolutely loved it, I enjoyed it too becuase it was located in a strip mall, so I would go shopping while Mark took the kids there to play. It was so much fun! So it was hot and dry, but we had a great time. Thanks to everyone who let us come and visit. I feel like I could get around the Pheonix area pretty well now!
