Phoenix visit

We took the scenic route from San Diego and drove through Phoenix to visit with my parents for a couple days. It was a nice way for the kids to have a little time with Grandparents and also some downtime. Quality time with Grandma, building Lincoln Logs with Grandpa and of course spending time in their little pool!

We also had a small celebration for Avery's Birthday and our friend Christine was able to join us!

On our drive back to Utah, we stopped in Flagstaff for lunch and to play at a playground. This playground had an interesting two person swing!

As we got close to the AZ/UT border, we also stopped at Horseshoe Bend. It was a short 1.5 mile loop to the viewpoint, so a great place to stretch our legs before getting to our hotel in Kanab.

The kids enjoyed some rock climbing near the path and we also saw four wild dogs nearby. The last pic shows them resting in the shade of a rock that looks a lot like a huge pile of poop!

Now we are home and back to regular everyday life!
