Family Vacation to AZ

We got to go on a vacation to Scottsdale, AZ as a family one last time before we have our 2nd child. We left May 1st and got to stay until May 9th! This was our longest family vacation ever! We had a great time!

We spent most of our time at the pool. This is Cade sunbathing by the pool.

We also went to In n Out a couple of times. Cade loved their fries.

Cameron and Cade at the entrance of the pool. Cameron was great with Cade, they had a lot of fun w/ each other.

Me and Cade. He loved his crab float! He especially loved being at the shallow end so he could walk around in his float. It was so cute.

We went to visit Cameron's grandparents, Papa Stan and Grandma Gale, who live near by. This is Papa Stan and Cade after he dove into his arms :)

Our family.

Our 2nd visit to In n Out. Cade decided he wanted our food. Oh, and I decorated his face with stickers, he didn't even notice :)

I fed Cade in this chair each day. This is how he ended up being one day.

We had a few friends over our last night. This is Cameron with one of his mission companions, Ricky and his daughter Abby, and their mission roommate, Brad.

Cade, Nicole (Ricky's wife, she was also in my last student ward at BYU-Idaho) and their daughter Abby (she's only about 2 months younger than Cade).

On our way home we got a flat, which added an extra 2 hours onto our trip. The extra time included: Cameron having to take everything out of the trunk to get to the spare, changing the tire, driving 50mph in a 65 mph zone because of the spare, and waiting about 45 min for someone to open their tire shop so they could replace our tire for us (this was on a Saturday after 6, everything was shut down). It took us about 12 1/2 hrs when it normally takes 10.

We had a great, relaxing time on vacations. We didn't want to leave and get back to our everyday lives. But, we're glad we made it back home safely!

First off, I can't believe how grown up your younger siblings are...holy cow there big! Second off, I am so HAPPY you were able to take these vacations before baby #2 comes. It looks like you had a blast!
