Day 2 Day at the beach

On Tuesday we spent the WHOLE day at the beach. It started out overcast but the sun came out by 11 but it only got to the low 70's it was great!

We got back up to the campsite and Reagan crashed. We let her have a 30 minute nap.

We had tilapia, rice and zucchini for dinner and then a yummy dump cake with ice cream

We were really tired that night and slept good listening to the waves all night.

Sandy-ego day 1

I camped a TON as a kid but Joe and I have only done a few one nighter camp trips and most were ward camp outs were you really don't have to do much. So we were a little nervous when our friends asked us to go camping with them but we knew we had them to help out. Well on Saturday they called and said they would not be able to attend. We decided to go ahead and try to camp and it was so so so fun!

After we got there we set up camp and headed on a walk to see the beach.

Tyler wanted to head down the stairs and see the water himself. I told them not to get wet this time because we needed to make dinner in a bit... well as you can see the temptation was too much.

Reagan was a l0t more cautious

Emma after walking along the beach and playing in the sand said, "Oh I see, that is why this is called Sandy- ego, it is everywhere."

I bought Joe a dutch oven before the trip and he made is first dutch oven dinner and it was AWESOME. It was a chicken and rice dish.

Before we went to bed we played a few hands of go fish!

The Children's Museum of Phoenix

We went to the Children's museum of Phoenix on Tuesday after Tyler got out of school. The kids really enjoyed it and didn't want to go home.

Here is the wind tunnel. You put things in and change which ways the wind blows and they come out different holes.

Reagan in the tunnels.

The orange house.

the noodle forest. I thought Reagan would be to scared but all three LOVED it.

Serving up ice cream

Reagan was dangerous with this thing. She thought it was so funny to run into everything.

Music with the grandma's and grandpa's

Every other week Emma, Reagan and I attend a music class at a retirement home. It is AWESOME we have learned lots of fun songs and they get to interact with the "grandma's" and "grandpas." We have been going for a while but I always forget my camera. this was the last class for the semester.
