Our Camping Trip

We went camping the weekend of the 10th. We were only going to stay till sunday and drive home Monday, but we decided to take an extra 2 days! Of course it wasn't all camping though. We camped 2 days and 2 nights, the rest of the time we were in a motel.
We took the train from Williams to the Grand Canyon. That was so much fun! My kids had never seen the Grand Canyon before so it was a fun experience for them.
The funnest part for our kids were the theives that went on the train and took people's money. Mason gave the funniest face ever!
Then we went to Mt. Humphey's and took a ski lift to the highest mountain in AZ! The view was beautiful!
Anyways that was our trip and it was nice for the most part to not have distractions around us so we could enjoy being with each other.

4th of July

the 4th was so much fun! We had lunch at mom and dad's then took the lightrail into tempe. I do not recommend the lightrail by any means. The fireworks ended at 10 the lightrail didn't get us back home till 10:45! That doesn't even count with the 20 minute wait to get on the dang train. But if you want to save money for cost of parking it is a good way to go though.
Anyways, the kids loved it including Sam which shocked me, because I thought he would be scared of all the popping sounds, but he wasn't so it worked out great!

Swimming Lessons

We ended up going to Shelly again this year and she is just wonderful. We tried getting Lizzy into the Swim team, but she was a little slow this year, but hey she still swam the legnth of the pool so that was awesome!
Then after we finished with Shelly we put Lizzy into diving lessons with the city and she did an awesome job! She even jumped off the high dive, what a brave girl we have!

Father's Day

Father's day was great! Alot of work but it ended up being fun.

Mother's Day

I know I am coming from a while back, but such as life. I had a wonderful mother's day and felt like a queen.
