A snapshot of our Arizona trip

The first week of January, Andy's parents kindly blessed us with a trip to Anthem, AZ to come see them for a week. We had so much fun shopping, going to the zoo, the pioneer museum, shopping, having a mommy and daddy day in Sedona, and did I mention shopping? Andy and Jaben even got to spend a day golfing a beautiful course with Grandpa Jerry. It was truly a trip of a lifetime! The beautiful scenery and the break from freezing cold were just what we needed to rejuvenate.

Some may think it's strange to take pictures of huge cacti, but come on, they don't exactly grow among the evergreens in North Idaho. This was at the quaint little pioneer museum we went to.

Andy and I took a drive into Sedona to celebrate my birthday, just the two of us. The surrounding area was absolutely gorgeous with all of the red rock. We stopped several times to take pictures, and to walk a path by Montesuma's Castle. Once we arrived in Sedona we hit a couple of art galleries and had sushi for lunch. It was a very relaxing, and very adult like day. Andy made me feel so special spending that time with me!

The sunsets in Arizona are nothing short of awe-inspiring. This was our welcoming sunset the day we got into Anthem.

The kids loved the fun park by the condo, complete with fishing and play equipment. Jaben said the fish had already eaten when we got there, and that is why we couldn't catch any. (:

The Wildlife zoo and aquarium we went too were amazing. We have never been quite this close to so many beautiful animals.

Kyleah squealed the whole time we were in the petting zoo. She loved it until they got too close, then she was a little less sure about things.

What a great trip with such happy memories. Thank you Grandpa and Grandma!
