Fun with Family and Friends in AZ and CA

We just returned home from a two week trip to Arizona and California. Coley attended a conference for five days in Scottsdale, AZ, so we all flew to Phoenix together. While he attended the conference, I took Abby and Michael to visit my mom in Prescott. We had a great time.  Coley joined us as soon as his conference was over.

 Michael finally got to meet Logan and Samantha.  Samantha was so sweet with Michael.  She attended to his every need.



 On our last night in Arizona, we went to my aunt and uncle's house for dinner.  It was a great night with lots of family!  As you can see, my uncle introduced Michael to tools.  Life will never be the same!

 The girls had a great time together.  They played with the tools for awhile, but then disappeared to prepare their "dance recital."

 The next day we were off to California.  Our 5 1/2 hour drive across the desert took much longer with a four year old and a one year old, but we made it.  Abby and Michael were both very good and kept themselves entertained with Magna Doodles most of the way.

 While in California, I was able to visit several friends.  On Sunday, we were able to spend the evening with Emily and her family.  Abby was in heaven with all of Jack's toys.  Don't you love her outfit?

 Of course our trip to California included Disneyland.  The weather was perfect and we had lots of fun with Emily and Jack.

 We even found Santa while we were there!

Don't forget Mrs. Claus.

On the next post, I'll share more of our vacation adventures.... the crazy part of our trip. :)
