Picnic Time

We visited Nana and Papa up at Canyon Lake on Saturday when they were camping. We had to do with what we had because someone (no not me on this one) forgot to bring the bag of toys. We saw a coyote walk across the street when we were leaving.

Glendale Balloon Festival

We can't wait to go back to the Balloon Fest next year in Glendale. The sky illuminated with 20 or more hot air balloons and they had live music on every corner. The kids were busy runnin, dancing, and playing the entire time. Ann and Russ kept use company and helped out with the kids.

Playing at the Phoenix Children Museum

We went to the Children's Museum and spent a couple hours of playing and having fun.

We were laughing so hard because Claire was crashing into everyone and everything with her shopping cart.

Gordo

Sean was the Star Student at preschool and he got to take home the class mascot "Gordo." You were supposed to go on adventures with him.

Sean kept Gordo company, took him to Costco, played at the Children's Museum, and went to the store with him. He was sad when he had to go back to school.

Circus

We went to a one-ring circus which was perfect for the little ones. The kids were totally entertained and the clown kept their interest. Claire was amazed by the horses and the dogs when they did their tricks.

Claire looked at the clown and started to laugh. The show was just like it would have been 100 years ago

Brother and Sister

I could not resist these pictures of the kids watching TV.

Claire was so funny reading a book on Sean's back while he relaxed.

The kids were taking a break on the bench when we went to the zoo.

The Organ Stop

Claire watched as she chomped on some ice cream.My parents kept telling us to take the kids to Organ Stop Pizza. We knew that a bunch of older people loved to hang out and eat pizza. Little did we know the kids would have a blast listening to the organ and all of instruments on that played on the wall including the drum, bells, xylophone, and cymbals. They danced under the disco ball, played with the bubbles coming from the ceiling, and watched a couple puppets. What a great time.
