Arizona!

Gwen and I lucked out. We got to go on two back to back vacations! Everyone was out of school for Spring Break and my family invited us to go to Arizona. Chase had work and couldn't join us. We missed him!
I am in love with this place. I could easily live in Arizona. The weather was a blazing 90 degrees everyday. I love the sunshine!
We stayed at the Hyatt at Gainey Ranch. This incredible resort has 2.5 acres of swimming pools with a beach and a 3 story water slide. It's built on a golf course and is surrounded with ponds filled with ducks. Stunning property!




Gwenny loved the sandy beach. Our next destination will be somewhere with an ocean.



Gwen is into throwing things. She had fun throwing rocks into this water feature.

She was sporting mommy's sunglasses. I must say they look much cuter on her!



We went on a few bike rides. My mom would go run early in the morning and find the cool paths for us to go on.



She has the best grandpa and aunt!

Gwen is a grandma's girl! She won't go to anyone else when grandma's around. I can't blame her, my mom's pretty awesome!



Spencer and Melinda brought their kids over to swim. It was great seeing them. I love their cute family and especially enjoyed meeting Clare. She is the sweetest baby ever! I must admit she made me a little baby hungry.

Tanner and Elise became instant buddies!



Here's Clyde the Camel. Pretty sweet huh? We came across him on one of our bike rides. He was getting up close and friendly with Brad. Apparently Clyde is famous around the Camelback area in AZ.

Her dad would be proud. Gwen is following in his footsteps and is going to be our tennis star.



One evening we decided to hit up the mall. We shopped til we dropped. Gwen always seemed to find something in the stores to keep her occupied.

Thanks mom and dad for another fabulous trip!
