And Finally...Phoenix!

To complete our 3rd weekend in a row of travelling, we headed off to Phoenix for Clint's cousin Ian's graduation!

Cousin Wyatt and Kate watching the graduation.

Grandpa Jim bought "claws" for Lucas and Wyatt, which they loved! Wyatt and Lucas loved running around playing boy games.
We spent a lot of time visiting at Aunt Kay and Uncle Mark's home. The kids loved running around in their backyard! I love these pics of Kate. She's so adorable.

But did I mention she's a stinker and a troublemaker?! :) The first thing she did in their backyard was run straight into the pool to test the net. The net works!!! She was wet but unharmed! For the rest of the visit, she would walk right up to the edge and think about trying it again.
Uncle Dev and Kate
We also went to see Ian and Erin's new home. They had 3 large dogs. The kids loved them, especially Kaitlin. She would not leave Star alone. She would run up and throw herself on the dog's pillow. And she used Star for a pillow. It was so funny.
Great Grandpa and Grandpa
Great Grandpa Ron, Grandpa Jim, Great Grandma Kaye, Aunt Kay, and Grandma ClaireWe were also able to go to the Wildlife World Zoo. We went there a couple of years ago and I loved it! They have a great petting zoo. Kaitlin fell down immediately and landed on her face. Yuck! She only picked up one piece of poop!
2 little babies!!! This baby goat was only 4 days old.
Did you know a giraffe's tongue is 18" long?
Pumba...gross.
On the drive down, we told Lucas stories about ourselves when we were younger. Clint told about a time that he was going on a family trip, and he asked, before they even left the driveway, "Are we there yet?" Of course, his parents loved that! :) So, as we buckled in to head back to Vegas, Lucas said, "Are we there yet?" And then he laughed!! He had such a great smile. What a great joke! :) He's getting grown-up enough to make up his own jokes!
Here's a pic of the progress on the bridge over the dam:
View from the dam:We had such a fun time seeing all of our family! It was a nice little reunion!
