In July I took a much needed vacation with three of my kids! We went to Arizona to visit my dad and my grandparents! We were lucky enough to meet up with my aunts and my cousins also! I was also able to meet up with a friend I haven't seen in over 17 years! That was very exciting! We had such a great time with our family! Joe had to work and Cameron was terrified to fly so I decided to take the three little ones and go! It was hard to leave Joe and Cameron behind but I felt like I needed to go see my family and go back to where I grew up. The last time I was there was 7 years ago and that was just too long. We started the vacation by driving to Milwaukee and staying at a hotel. Then at 5 am we hopped on a shuttle to the airport and went through security and we were ready to bored our plane! We flew into Phoenix where my dad and my uncle Marlow were waiting for us! We drove to Show Low and spent a week there. It was so much fun. I was so excited to take my kids to the 4th of July parade! I was excited to have them experience what I did as a kid! We had such a good time! We made some great memories! I can't wait to visit again, hopefully next summer we will all be able to go back! Here are some pictures of our trip :)

I'm sooo glad you came by to see me and we got to catch up! Not loving the fat preggo pic of us but...what a fun trip for you! Not sure it sounds like much of a vacation you traveling all by yourself but I'm sure you loved getting to see all your family!
