Arizona Adventure

Mom had a work trip to Arizona. We decided to have a family weekend prior to the business trip. The timing was a bit on the hectic side. April has been extremely busy for the family. And about 36 hours before the trip, a pipe in the house broke. We have lots of damage on the main level and basement (yes our new basement). We are hopefully in good hands with Service Master. Our trip started off with a local lunch (on the rough side of town) at Mim's. Great food and a great adventure.


We spent our first night at Ron's business partner's place for a barbecue and swim in the pool.


We spent our second day taking the kids on their very first horse trail ride with Ponderosa Stables through the Phoenix City Park (the largest city park in the U.S.).



We also checked into our hotel, which had a great water park with wave pools, huge waterslides, a lazy river, and hot tubs!


We spent the evening at the Diamondback vs. Philly Game with our pals, the best $9 ticket ever. We watched the game in this cool stadium, the kids (and parents) got to take baseball swings at pitches at 50 mph (everyone made contact except Ron), Ron got to try on a world series ring, the kids got to sing on the Jumbo Tron for the 7th inning stretch, we went down to the field for an after game fireworks show, and the kids decided to have a sleepover at their new friend Austin's house. So Mom and Dad got the night off and got to sleep in! A bonus!





And our last day, we went to Mom's hotel for her business meetings. Another great hotel with a lazy river and waterslides (that Presley was big enough to ride... thank goodness!).
