Living the Good Life

We are taking full advantage of relaxing this week.  Today we swam, rode our bikes, played a little golf and enjoyed the sunset.  Ah….we might never leave…. DSC_0775  DSC_0792 DSC_0770 DSC_0772 DSC_0767 DSC_0794 Canon ball – cousin Eli would be so proud!DSC_0805 Double jumps and landingDSC_0806 DSC_0784 DSC_0799 The pool which is a great sizeDSC_0793 This is the view from the pool to the par 3 courseIMG_4505DSC_0816  This is our view of the par 3 from our porch.  Grandpa and kids are in the background.

Ice Skating and More

IMG_4450We were lucky to find an outdoor ice skating rink in downtown Phoenix.  The ice was a bit rough but we eventually got the hang of it. The kids have really enjoyed  ice skating this season.DSC_0723 IMG_4446DSC_0735 DSC_0703 DSC_0711 DSC_0716 DSC_0696 DSC_0740 Visiting Sweet Julia a show we watch on the Food Channel was a lot of fun.  Unfortunately she wasn’t there today but we did get some treats.IMG_4474DSC_0741 DSC_0754 Hanging out in Old Town Scottsdale where we had ice cream at the Sugar Bowl.IMG_4488DSC_0748

A Relaxing Week in AZ

We are enjoying a week of relaxation in Phoenix.  The weather is going to be a bit on the chilly side but there is a lot to do and see.  We are staying in an adorable house that has all the amenities two kids could ever want.  There’s bike riding, swimming and golfing.  DSC_0628 The par 3 course with our house in the backgroundDSC_0634 Riding bikes along the pathDSC_0638 DSC_0622 DSC_0668 Enjoying a gorgeous sunsetDSC_0664 DSC_0683 DSC_0658 DSC_0695 DSC_0648
