Arizona, Spring Break Day 4


The kids enjoyed playing in the sand box before breakfast. It was so nice to feel this warm at 8:00 in the morning!!
Carter and Ellie playing candy land on the stairs :)
We took the kids to a park that was shaded, since the weather forecast was predicting it to be 100 degrees that day. These two are so cute!
Emma, Ellie, and Ava playing on the tire swing
Ava climbing

This particular park was right by a lake that has the tallest water fountain in the world. It goes off every hour for 5 minutes at a time. It was pretty spectacular.

It started getting really hot by 11:00am, so we left the park and went to a splash park

We got the kids some push up pops as a treat to help cool them down
Carter ready to head into the splash park (which was also shaded pretty well by palm trees)
Ava and Carter headed in to play

Pretty palm trees!

Cristian and Kyle went out to eat since the Paradise Bakery did not have any gluten free options, so he joined us after he was done eating


The kids played in the pool the rest of the day. Carter jumping in off the ledge to Kyle

Ava jumping to daddy
The kids playing in the sprinkler
I think Kyle and Scott enjoyed the water toys as much as the kids :)
My view while laying out in the 100 degree temp (which, by the way, feels completely different then a 100 degree day in Washington).

Cooling off with another treat :)

What an awesome spring break trip. The surroundings are so pretty and it looks like the weather is perfect, (although 100 sounds hot), but you all look like you are enjoying it so much!!
