Vacation Pictures

This is pretty much all you see in Phoenix. The mountains are really pretty, but I could do without everything else. We definitely saw a lot of cactus(or cacti, whichever you prefer.)


We had a great vacation in Arizona. It was unbelievably hot (I think it got up to 115 degrees), but all we did outside in Phoenix was go to the pool, so it wasn't too bad. Our flight there was not much fun. We landed at the hottest part of the day, so we had quite a bit of turbulence. We were bumping along and all of a sudden, the plane just dropped. It was like we were falling out of the sky, and everyone screamed. That shows me that it wasn't just me that was freaked out! Anyway, it lasted only a second or two, but it felt like much longer. ( I was dreading getting back on the plane to come home, but it wasn't as bad.) Anyway, the heat was really crazy. It is a dry heat, so we didn't sweat like you do in the humidity, but it was like being in an oven. It felt thick, if that makes any sense. A breeze would come along and we would think that would help, but that just felt like a hair dryer! I definitely couldn't last long there.

Here are some random pictures of our vacation. The kids loved the pools (there were four, but we only made it to three). We spent as much time as possible in the pool for a couple of reasons. One is because it was too hot to do anything else, but the other was to wear the kids out so they would sleep good!!



It doesn't look like Avery has strep!
