Fun in Phoenix!

This weekend we were excited to fly into Phoenix to visit Uncle J, Aunt S, and cousin T in Surprise, AZ.  It was there first time meeting Little Sweetie and, therefore, the first time to get all the cousins together.  Although it was a quick trip, it was a wonderful visit!

Our welcoming party at the airport!

After we arrived, we went to Uncle J and Aunt S's house to play with their puppies and eat some lunch.  Then we headed to lots of fun at the Phoenix Children's Museum!

     

Little Buddy loved the cool climbing structure at the entrance of the Museum!  Daddy had to go chase him through it a couple of times.

   

Little Sweetie had great fun playing blocks with her brother and cousin, and then found some adventures all of her own!

   

The grocery store, hot dog cart, and ice cream stand were some of Little Buddy's favorite attractions!

Some sibling pencil race car action!

Family fun at the Phoenix Children's Museum!

We finished the day with dinner and then settled into our hotel.  Lots of fun sleeping with two kids in one hotel room...ha!  And both kids ignored the time change and woke up at 4 AM Arizona time, mistaking it for the 6 AM Texas time they are used to!  Daddy and I were pretty tired, but were still excited to start the day with some swim time with the family!

After swimming, cousin T went home for his nap and we took Little Buddy and Little Sweetie to a local park.  They had a great time and wore themselves out for their own naps.  Which was good, because they needed their energy for our next activity...checking out Chase Field and a Diamaondbacks game!  

Brother was beyond excited for the baseball game.  Upon seeing the stadium, he turned to us and said, "Oh wow!"

     

Lots of baseball fun with the kiddos!

I even got to introduce the kids to one of my dear friends from childhood, Ms. A!

After the game, we head to a nice dinner at Yardhouse, where the kids did way better than we expected and we got some good pictures.  I was sad to leave the next day!

Little Sweetie and Cousin T, great dining companions!

The three cousins!  Ten months, 4 years, and 20 months.  Love them!

     

Obligatory sibling kiss and hug pictures.  Love my not-so-little brother and so glad I got to spend time with him and his family!

I'm so happy we got to have this time with my brother's family and hope it isn't long before we get to spend time with them again!

Good night,
