Arizona 2013

Brody and Heather make orange juice with GG

GG with Maverick and Mara

Brody makes Mara laugh.  Mara really seems to dig Brody, he got some really good belly laughs out of her!

Brody swims to the stairs; he really learned how to get around independently with the life jacket.  Mara and Sean are swimming too in the background.

Barry threw Brody into the water and I caught him in action right before he  splashed.

Maverick LOVES water and the pool was no different.  He splashed and splashed.

The Hebel family in front of the orange tree at GG's house (it was very bright outside so the picture has sort of a hazy exposure).

Some of the boys being weirdos.

The Park family with GG by her orange tree.

Sean thought he'd play photographer as he took our family pictures and I decided to cooperate really well.

Maverick staring longingly outside at GG's house.

Maverick cut another tooth on vacation and he's showing off the first four he has, his little bunny teeth!

The scene at Saguaro Lake

 Brody enjoys his sandwich at Saguaro lake (brrr, it was windy!!).

Picking every last orange off of GG's tree with my lovely assistants.

Sunset at GG's park

Brody and Maverick were playing together, I actually caught it on camera for a change!

Tortilla Flat: Brody and Barry went for a little hike up the "mountain".

Brody getting even better at swimming.  He learned to hold his breath and go under really deep.  We were so proud of how fast he learned.

We flew to Arizona last week with Sean, Heather and Mara to visit GG. The weather wasn't the greatest, but we managed to get in some swimming, making orange juice, visiting Tortilla Flat, among other adventures. All three kids were great on both flights! Sleeping for Maverick wasn't the best, but he was teething and he had a cold, not to mention the strange surroundings. It was fun to visit with GG. Brody learned a lot about swimming and we all had plenty of time to relax on our little get-away.
