Trip to Arizona

We had another successful road trip to Arizona to visit parents and grandparents.  The long weekends aren't quite enough time but we cherish the time we do get to visit.  Elena is a great road tripper and I'm glad she finally mastered her "going potty in public restrooms" skill.  Elena has been day time potty trained for over a year but she doesn't like public restrooms--she'll hold it for the 7.5-8 hours it takes us to drive to Prescott.  Needless to say by the time we arrive she really has to go and arrives with a tummy ache.

 We took a walk around the Highland Center with docent Donna :)  Elena loved learning about the habitats and animals that live in them.

 We also spent some time at the park.  Above is Elena's first try at the monkey bars.  She held on well but that was about the extent of her monkeying around :)

 She still loves swings (bucket or sling)--can you tell?  And I love taking pictures of her swinging.

 Being goofy with Grandpa on the blue seal!

 Playing dinos on the rocks.  Elena built caves and homes for the dinos with Grandma and Daddy.  Check out Carl's shades, he's rocking Elena's Dora glasses.  Silly Daddy!

Grandparents and grandkids.  Saying good bye is always hard...but we're looking forward to seeing you again soon!
