Quick little trip

Even though it seemed a bit silly to drive twelve hours each way to spend two full days in Arizona I'm so glad we did! Cory had an old coworker get married Friday so it was the perfect excuse. We loved swimming in grandma and grandpas pool, seeing friends, visiting the children's museum, eating amazing tacos, and visiting grandpa at the aircraft museum where he volunteers. The weather was also absolutely amazing. The fancy pants wedding and night away from the kids wasn't bad either. 

Helping me pack the day before we left . 

Phew. I was worried the kids wouldn't fit In my suitcase. 

Swinging brothers. 

This kid loves the swings!!! 

The awesome climbing structure at the children's museum. Thank you, designers, for making it mostly parent accessible. 

Who's that baby??! 

My little carter. The 'market' was overrun and crazy full of first graders on a field trip.. She found herself a quiet corner to organize canned food. 

They had this awesome castle the kids could help paint. Such a fun idea! 

Wedding selfie. Cory and I has a bit of a disagreement about his outfit .. Purple shirt, blue vest, blue tie, and these orange pants.. Yes ORANGE... We almost bought him some new gray pants but at the end of the day it totally worked and a well dressed Australian even complemented him. Rust is the new neutral apparently :) 

Airplane museum. The best part for the kids was fighting over this pedal car.. Carter informed me she doesn't like these kinds of 'musemans' (you know... Ones that offer more education and less toys). I'll be buying a pass to the Leonardo when we get home... 

This plane flew 16 missions in WWII. And now people can pay to take a ride. We got to watch it take off and land. Super cool. 

Hot air balloons on the way out of town. Nice surprise!!
