Last week we headed to Phoenix to thaw out. Derrick has 2 siblings that live there and we stayed with his brother. The weather was b-e-a-utiful. Just what we needed in the middle of winter.
Highlights:
- In-n-Out x2
- Chick-fil-A
- BJ’s Pizza
- Sprinkles Cupcakes. Holy yum.
- Going to the pool x2
- Spring Training games x2
- Playing Wii every night
- Overdosing on strawberries and avocadoes
- Going to the train park
- Going to the Children’s museum (although that’s a debatable lowlight---what a germfest.)
- Eating David’s waffles. DELICIOUS. Now I need Belgian waffler. STAT.
- Seeing our friends the Wilson’s and my old roomie Laura for like, the quickest visits ever.
Lowlights:
- Summer having diarrhea for 3 days
- Summer’s diarrhea causing multiple blowouts, including one at Sweet Tomatoes where it launched out of the top of her diaper onto the highchair and then plopped down onto the carpet. GROSS.
- The day of rain that cooled things off a bit
- Our flight home being delayed
- Frontier airlines sending our gate checked stroller to the carousel where the wheels snapped off and they wouldn’t do anything about it and I was so tired and cranky because we stayed up so late every night and Summer was SO hard to tame on the plane and all I could do was call the baggage guy at the Frontier counter an A-hole. Not my finest moment. Or was it??
It was a fabulous trip, and just what we needed. We thought a week would be enough time to do and see everything and everyone, but there were SO many people we wish we could have seen. Summer being sick kind of put a damper on things for a bit. Hopefully next time we can make it out to see everyone. I hate being so close and not finding the time to see people. Oh well.

Ooops-now, did you call him that to his FACE??? It doesn't count if you mumble it under your breath when you're standing ten feet away, you know!
;-) I've had trips like that. You're supposed to, when you have kids, you know. Glad you had fun--for the most part!
Oh no! Your new stroller you just got! I would have been so mad too! Sorry she got sick.
Summer and I am guessing her cousin look a ton alike in that second to last picture!
That was possibly the funniest post I've read in a long time! That "blow out" story- gross but so funny (because it didn't happen to me)! I was going to say the same thing about Summer and her cousin (?). They look like they could be sisters- twins even! I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves! :)
what a great family

Wanted to post a "sorry...that sucks" for the bad and "glad you had fun" for the rest. Also, was going to say that the cousins have a definite resemblance. Wasn't the first with that thought either. Glad you are back and the sun is shining here too, so thanks for bringing it back with you!
