Arizona trip III

After our time with the Hansens, we went on down to Tucson.  We hung out with our cousins at an amazing park, enjoyed the warm sun and the breeze, and just loved being in James and Em's home.  We got started back on Tuesday morning and hoped to be home late that night... Then Ada threw up the whole way home and we got pulled over trying to get ahead of some trucks (warning only... phew!), and got on the wrong road after getting gas and took a detour to Califonia where we saw a place called Pirates Cove... We got home about 1:30am, but we got home... then Sam threw up from 1:30am til about 3:30, but we were home.
 



 








Each of the cousins are so fun. 
Aubrey - What a great older sister/cousin/helper.  I love her smile and love how she's always thinking of something fun to do.
Mariah - What a dynamic girl.  She's willing to tell me where things go in the kitchen and play all sorts of games with the younger cousins.
Jonathan - What a sweet and caring guy.  He looks at others to see how they're feeling and helps them out.  Sammy said that he was his favorite to play with.
Amelia - Sweetest smile ever!  She and Evelyn played and played so cutely together.
Henry - What a smart and happy kid!  Ada had fun climbing over the back fence with him to investigate things in the wash.
Wesley - Such a sweet boy, he loved to tell me all about things and kicked our trash at all the games we played together.  That kid can roll dice like noone's business.
Graham - What a cute kid, and an amazing climber.  He and Evelyn are so similar it's funny!  They both insist on being up in their brother's bunkbeds, love their mommies, love to ride bikes, and lock themselves in rooms.  They actually locked themselves in a room together... alone... with a keyed lock on the door.  Evelyn's too short to really work the doorknob well so luckily Emily was able to talk Graham through opening the door from the other side.  And he did it!
 
What a fun trip and how fun to be with family!
