Arizona

We got the chance to drive down to Arizona last week and had so much fun in the sun.  The kids couldn't get enough of all the parks, and we even got to go swimming.

Playing with cousins! Reagan, Clay, Lauren and Zac

fun sliding! Zac loved to pile the sand at the bottom of the slide and go right through.

My cousin Landon is a Fireman so he gave us a personal tour of his fire department.  We really got the VIP treatment.  Thanks a ton Landon! The kids had a blast...even Reagan!

They let us put on the head gear and were able to talk to eachother

through them.  It was pretty neat.

Zac and Reagan trying to lift the Jaws of Life, needless to say

the jaws weighed more than the kids.

Reagan hadn't really gotten into much at the firehouse, but when she saw zac squirting water from the

brush fire truck she thought she'd try.  On her first and only attempt, she got squirted

and came running back to me.  We all thought it was pretty funny though.

Zac, mom and I went on a hike up to some petroglyphs
(thanks dad for watching reagan)  There has been a lot of

rain in the dessert this year so we got a cool picture of a cactus in full bloom.

We finally made it! I swear it was about a mile and half up to them. Zac

was quite the tropper though.

We also got to go to my grandpa's farm. We found a ton of indian pottery, but unfortunatley didn't take any pictures of all the fun the kids had gathering it up. There is a ton of it on my grandparents farm, and it's fun to look at.
