Fun in Tempe

Erika and the kids went to Phoenix with Mason's friend Giselle and family. First stop was the SeaLife Aquarium. After a 1 1/2 hour car ride, we were good for only an hour at the museum, then everyone (including the adults) were melting down. We went to the Rain Forest Cafe, then headed back to the aquarium for another hour. It was actually pretty nice and the kids of course loved it.

Then we went to a splash pad where the kids could get wet and play after all that learning.


Usually I let him spray me, but I wasn't dressed to be wet (although my feet ended up being soaked).


This was a very neat waterfall.


A very rare moment, in which we had the ability to take a decent picture with a smile, since she usually never stops moving.


They had some of the neatest aquariums there, the coolest shapes. You could stand in the middle and feel like you are under water!

Learning to cook

The kids had a blast playing in the kitchen at the Children's Museum. Cami puts on the oven mitts to get the pizza the oven. Mason made a stew for us.
