When we take a trip we make sure that it is anything but boring. On the way to Alamosa Colorado, we stopped at the Four Corners (see Ara in all 4 places at once). We also stopped in Durango. It was a really cute little city along the way. We were able to stop and see some waterfalls along the way too.
Before we knew it, we were at Gram’s place. The first thing that Gramps did it walk up to her house, knock on the door and when she opened it he gave her a kiss (on the lips) and walked inside. I didn’t think it was too crazy, but the wife was like… WHAT?! hahaha, she said she was glad she missed that.
Here are a few more photos of that visit. Arabella was all smiles after meeting her Gramps and Gramps just a few days apart from each other.
On the way back we stopped at the Petrified Forest National Park. Once back in town we took them to Fountain Hills and found a water park for Arabella to play in.
They mentioned that they enjoyed the visit to me so I hope that we can have them out again. The time that they spend with Arabella and Maryia is rare, which makes it very special.
After they left we went to pick up some free Diamondback tickets. Free is free and Arabella had yet to go to a professional baseball game.
It was fun and the photo would have turned out if Ara would have kept just a little more still- but – she is a ball of energy.
Monsoon has not been disappointing. We got 1.64 inches of rain (the prior daily record was 1.46). The thing about when we get rain, it usually happens in 20 or 30 minutes. Sometimes less. It makes for great walks in the rain.
The last thing before I forget – MONOPOLY IS BACK! One of the best games around to play.
just Pray
