The plane went up and down and side to side a little too much for my liking, but Audrey held my hand and assured me that the people flying the plane were professionals and "they're not gonna let you get hurt, Mom." We arrived safely just like she promised and headed over to Michael and Allison's house.
The kids all hit it off immediately and swam for a while, and then we headed to dinner here.
Joe's Farm Grill is such a great place--one of those places I think we'd eat at all the time if we lived here. Toben and I both had barbecue--yum, yum, yum. Audrey and Emma thought it was pretty neat that the kids' meals came with lollipops (and free replacements for when your sister drops yours into the grass and gets it all yucky).
We hung out some more and the girls are getting the chlorine rinsed out of their hair before bed. We're staying at a house down the street from Michael and Allison--so nice to have more than just a hotel room!
Tomorrow, we (the grown-ups) will be in meetings all day, while they (the kids) hang out and swim together--and make cookies with the babysitter. Toben's doing some consulting, and his fee for these meetings was for the whole family to come. He'll finish up meetings on Tuesday morning and then we'll all just hang out some more until we head home on Wednesday.
Have fun! Joe's sounds yummy!

You know what we say in Arizona about the heat..it's a dry heat :)
(like sticking your head in the oven)
Actually it's been a very nice spring for us so far.

I loved getting to spend some time with you over the last couple of days! You are so easy to talk to and be with. It was refreshing to just hang and talk girly stuff and Mom stuff and all that. I haven't experienced that since moving to Gilbert - so thank you!
I checked out the "Blissful Living" website. OMG! You have to come back and us go there together! I'm definately going to check it out in person.
