Brett, Jill, Brayden & Sienna: SPRING BREAK!!!

Here are a few (of many) pictures from our trip to sunny Arizona! We had an absolute blast! I have never left Bray for more than one night (Brett has left for a week before on a golf trip), but we were so busy and I know that he loves to spend time with his Grammy and Bebo, so that made me feel okay about it. It also helped that everyday we did something so fun!

We got in on Wednesday and Thursday we were at the Mariners Spring Training Game, then IN AND OUT (which is one of the only places a REALLY wanted to visit!).

Friday we packed up and headed to Flagstaff for the night. On the way we stopped in Sedona for a hike! Let me just say I was not prepared for this, it was so steep in some areas and so narrow in others. Sometimes it was impossible to walk we would all slide down on our butts! We all made it to the top! Once I was safely back down at the car, I could breathe and really enjoy what we just did. No falls and me and the baby bump made it just fine. All three of us girls packed these really cute dresses and planned on a night on the town for Quincy's birthday. Yeah, when we got there and saw about FOUR FEET of snow, we opted for different clothes. We had a blast celebrating Quincy and the stayed the night in Flagstaff (3.5 hours from Scottsdale).

Saturday morning we woke up, realized that the Ramada's "free breakfast" was disgusting and headed to starbucks. Then, on the road again! Just over an hour and we were there, the Grand Canyon! I could hardly soak in the scenery, felt like you were looking at a picture! We walked along the rim, stopped at viewpoints and soaked it all in. Grabbed a bite to eat and then headed back "home" (about four hours away). Lots of good quality road trip time to bond. :) Totally worth it!

Sunday we slept in and then went for a fun boat ride/BBQ! Our hosts Max and Kristin showed us the lake that they go to on their boat. Looks similar to Eastern Washington, but with cactus everywhere! Then Max showed the boys some more of his toys and they went dirt bike riding/rhino riding/quad riding trip! The boys came back and you could tell by how dirty they were that they had a good time! That night we went out to the BEST italian restaurant I have ever been to (tied with C&O's in Venice Beach).

Monday we went for another, more tame, hike at a park called Pinnacle Peak! After that we went to Nordstrom Last Chance store, which was quite and experience!

And now we are home! Brayden still remembers us and we were so excited to see him! He had a vacation of his own busy a fun and busy time with Grammy and Bebo, which included his first trip to the zoo!

Kristina, myself and Quincy at the Mariner's Game. Not quite sure who they played and what the score was, but we had a good time chatting and soaking up some rays...
