Spring Break 2009

Spring break was very low-key this year, Fred was only able to take Wed-Fri off so we decided to have a Staycation here in AZ. We thought about doing Bryce national park and Zions, but we needed some sun. The first few days the kids really wanted to go to Camp Verde, so Sophie and Sarah invited their friends, Taylor and Maddie for an adventure in CV--

We went back to Flagstaff, picked up Fred and dropped off our friends, then headed back to CV to play with cousins. We originally planned to stay 2 nights down in Phoenix, but the kids were having too much fun with cousins and grandma we stayed 2 nights in Verde an one night in Phoenix. Fred and I ditched the kids one night and travelled to Jerome, which is an old mining town about 30 minutes from CV and ate at the infamous "Haunted Hamburger" for dinner. We don't get to see each other very much so it was so nice to be able to spend some alone time with Fred.
Yummy Steak fries and Yummy Burgers!!

We left CV and headed to Phoenix to stay at the Pointe Hilton at Squaw Peak, it is a really fun place. The resort has a great water park and we spent all of our time there. Everyone chilled on the lazy river, I think I've come to a point where I'm so glad my children are getting older, we were all able to do the lazy river without leaving anybody out because of size.

We also went to a Spring Training baseball game and watched the Oakland A's and the Seattle Mariner's. It was fun to watch, I got nice and red. We lasted a little over an hour and the kids were done, but we did get to see Ken Griffey, Jr play.
Ummm black wasn't a very good color choice!

Sydney just loved running around on the grass!
