its a dry heat

Its been about a year since we moved away from AZ and we had the opportunity to go back for a visit this last weekend. We took an evening flight out on Wednesday, and after driving an hour to the airport we discovered our flight was delayed (3 hrs), we decided to be put on a different flight with a connection in Oakland before landing in AZ...let's just say we dodged a bullet with that and won't be making any more last minute flight changes in the future!
And, since I was getting WAY TOO excited about visiting the land of the sun, something had to ruin it for me...so I got sick the day before we left and it kept getting worse! I was sick the entire time and lost my voice for 3 days.

But, I was determined to have a good time anyways! I didn't get to do nearly as much as I wanted to, but that didn't stop the "man-child" from having a good time! He went swimming for the first time and loved it! We got to see some of our good friends and we hung out at their house, which has a pool (so does every other house in AZ...)
I loved the hot weather, it was about 105 the whole time! After swimming we played rock band...it's a good thing they all have day jobs.....!

We made sure to eat at some of our favorite places (Red Robin, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, and Chen's), there were tons of other places we wanted to eat, but there just aren't enough meals in the day!

No matter what we were doing, little bubba was having a good time! He loved hangin' out with the PJ'S and even tried a few new tricks! He's figuring out he may not need a free ride from mommy or daddy anymore as he now gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth...getting ready to crawl, of course....let the races begin!

On Saturday, we went to Canyon Lake and had a fun time on the boat. We did wakeboarding and tube wars!

All the pictures of me on the water are on the PJ'S camera, so you'll just have to take my word for it...I was getting major air and doing all kinds of tricks, I have insane skills, just trust me....
The little guy even did great on the plane rides! He's a great traveler, which makes us happy!

And, of course there was drama and issues with our flight coming home (it wouldn't be me if there wasn't). Nothing too major, but it just solidifies my future as a lone traveler now...my families have sworn off flying anywhere with me, I have the worst luck with flights!

I LOVE Arizona and would totally move back there! We had such a fun time with our friends and Patrick & Jess (thanks guys for letting us stay in our own house while we visited!!!) We miss you guys!
