Trip to Mesa

We went to Mesa, Arizona for a family vacation to visit my sister Jessica and her family! We went on May 21-27, and it didn't feel long enough. We went down planning for hot, hot weather, and instead we had Utah weather! I am not complaining because it wasn't miserably hot, but we were planning on being in the pool most of the time! We went and rode the double decker carousel at the mall while it was pouring rain outside! We were on the top level and the kids loved it, Jess and I on the other hand got a little dizzy. Later that night we went to the Bass Pro Shop. It is like Cabela's, but it was so much neater! We loved it and were there a couple of hours! We also went to a fun place called Jeepers. It was a little indoor amusement park for kids. The parents rode free with there kids, and you better believe us adults couldn't get enough of the bumper cars! We also got to go to the Phoenix Zoo. It was nice weather, but of course all of the Arizona natives had there jackets and pants on, and Brad and I were wearing our shorts and t-shirts. I didn't take any warm weather clothes for us or the kids, so Jess found me some pants to throw on all of them on the cold days! Thanks Jess! Jess took some cute family pictures for us while we were down there. Justice was out of control and didn't want to sit still, but we got a few good ones. I will post them when I get them all from Jess. The kids rode there bikes a bunch and had a few wrecks but still had a great time. Sage and Sydnee are quite the little bike riders! On Memorial Day we decided we were swimming even if the pool was cold. We heated up the spa just warm enough we could enjoy it and let the kids play! The babies loved it, and so did Justice. We were out there for hours and a few of us, not naming names got a little burnt. (BRAD) We kept trying the big pool, but it didn't get warmer that 69 degrees. Brad and Math played in the big pool a little, they were doing cannonballs trying to splash us wimps in the spa with the cold water! Math even threw me in the water, I was back in the spa so fast! Sage, Sydnee, and Justice had tons of fun playing together! Sage and Sydnee were great babysitters too, Talon and Cardon loved the girls, and the kind of liked Aunt Jess and Uncle Math too!:) We had so much fun and can't wait to go back! Thanks Young family for letting us invade your home!
