Arizona Trip - Day 2

We are at the resort for a National Farm Bureau Conference that started today. Brandon and I will try to attend as much of it as we can while trying to keep the kids busy playing and having fun too.

I woke up before everyone else and went to the gym to get some "me" time. Then we all went for a morning walk. Brandon and the girls wanted to show me all the pools I haven't seen yet. We stopped for a family pic. Brandon said there is A LOT of pink in this picture... Yup! :)

It was perfect when the sun peeked through the clouds.

Brandon took the twins back to the room for a nap, so I could go swim with the kids.

At the Family Escape Center the kids made postcards to send. Kalyssa made one for her Dad. 

Baylee made her Grandma Mitzi a postcard wishing her a Happy Birthday. Abbee and Kalyssa wrote her a message on the back too.

Abbee sent one to her Mom.

They ate lots of candy from the Mini Snack Bar.

Baylee and Abbee played games on the Apple computers.

Willie made his postcard for Lana. 

Kalyssa found a fun game to play on an iPad.

All the girls were playing games and were anxious to go swimming, but we had to wait for Will. He took 20 minutes to finish his postcard and didn't want to go until he was done. He carefully scratched it all over and tried not to get too close to the message. It was cute how important it was to him that he do a good job.

They did a good job!

Time to swim! 

It was cloudy and sprinkling so we had all the pools to ourselves for awhile.

We swam in the lazy river for awhile. It was fun floating in the current.

Bay and Abb are the only ones brave enough to get a tube. It was too cold for me outside the water to sit on one.

We moved to another pool that was set up for basketball. The girls played for a minute, but I kept walking to the Jacuzzi... it was raining and I wanted to really warm up. :) 

We had the huge Jacuzzi to ourselves. We played Marco-polo and Will played with the "bubbles". I thought it'd be way too hot for him, but he got right in and loved it.

Will playing with the bubbles again. :)

Then we went out for dinner to get pizza and pasta. We found a really good place called Crust. Kalyssa is eating her huge personal pizza and about ate the whole thing.

Willie fell asleep as soon as we left the resort (and is sleeping on the table), so our evening quickly turned into a girl's night out. We laughed a ton... mostly at Kalyssa. :) She instantly fell in love with our waiter, Mark. Turns out he is also a manager at the resort we're staying at, so he gave us 6 free fruit smoothies back at the Cafe there. Super nice of him!

We ordered Brandon dinner to-go since he stayed in the room with the twins. The girls blew the statue outside a kiss and we headed back. 

Paisley and Emmy were playing on our balcony. You can't see it at night, but we had a great view. Part of the golf course was right behind us.
