Well we have been really busy lately. We travel most weekends for fun or to escape the heat. Arabella loves exploring!
I think the last time I posted was a couple weeks ago. Right after we got Princess. Wow has a lot happened since then!
Arabella started coloring… On everything! Including me. I really badly wanted to throw every marker away but decided that grace was a better choice. Now we are working on teaching the right places to color!
It’s a work in progress.
A couple weekends ago we made a big trip. We got a hotel in Vegas and then headed to Death Valley! Arabella got her new car seat that is special just for traveling (no it wasn’t installed in this photo.. We were just “trying it on”).
We woke up early the next morning and headed out… It was only a couple hours drive from Vegas!
It was warm at 9am but it wasn’t as warm as we thought it would be.
We found these huge bees that kept following us around. They were seriously the largest bees we had ever seen! But there were some fun things to see!
Scott’s castle was a lot of fun! It was fun to try and imagine who lived there and what it must have been like in its hay day.
There is also a fun crater that was created by a volcano.
The last thing we visited in Death Valley was Badwater Basin… The lowest point in North America (maybe South America too). It was surrounded by natural table salt!
Then we returned to Vegas for the evening to relax a little before our plans the next day!
We decided to watch the water show and then catch dinner at Gordon Ramsey’s Burgr. Then we went back to the hotel and crashed!
The next day we spent a couple hours in the city, saw the sights (including the pawn stars shop) and began our journey back to Phoenix!
We visited the Hoover Dam again. And it was educational/fun! Thank heavens their is air conditioning in the bathrooms lol because when you start feeling warm you can sneak away and sit under the vent to cool off! Haha.
Then we headed on and visited the London Bridge because it wasn’t that far away and only an hour out of our way..
We got there right before sun down.
And then we headed back home to get some rest from our busy weekend!
