We had a great time in Arizona this spring break. We got to bring Wesley with us and all of the kids had a lot of fun. We left Thursday night at 7:30 and arrived in Bullhead City at 4 a.m. We caught a few hours of sleep and then went shopping and sight-seeing in Laughlin. The kids and grandma and I went swimming while Dan got caught up on his sleep. Later that evening after dinner we headed to Travis's house. The kids had a great weekend playing with their cousins. We went to a movie and Uncle Travis took the "marbles" off of Kamber's back. Monday morning we packed up and headed to Wikieup. We arrived at the Arizona house 5 minutes behind Mom and Dad. Perfect timing!
We went on lots of walks with Grandma and Grandpa.
The kids also thought that it was so much fun to throw rocks at the teddybear choyas. They even got to see the huge forrests of choyas that their parents had made by throwing rocks when they were their ages. The kids thought that was pretty cool, but I am pretty sure grandma Fisher was watching and cussing us for spreading those weed cactus's!
Grandpa gave all of the kids motorcyle rides. They thought that was great. They especially like the flame helmuts grandma and grandpa had. Even Dan got in on the action and gave each of the kids a ride.
Dan made sure to get in his exercise by riding the stationary bike under the carport. The kids thought it was pretty funny.
Boe and Wesley caught this lizard all by themselves. They were so proud. (It helped that the lizard had been injured somehow and couldn't see out of one eye and had a broken leg.)
The weather wasn't super warm, but once it got into the high 70s we decided it was warm enough to take the kids swimming. Mom and Dad found a really great place to swim at the Big Sandy. It was perfect for the kids. It wasn't even knee deep and it was all sand on the bottom. The kids had a blast.
There's a store in Wikieup called Dazzos. When people visit there they get to write on the walls. The kids thought it was pretty neat and they each wrote their names on the post outside. If you ever go to Wikieup, be sure to stop by and look for their names.
We left Wikieup on Friday morning and went down to Lake Havasu. We celebrated Mom's birthday. The kids had to help her blow out the candles because I was sneaky and bought trick candles to go on it.
We had a great spring break and made lots of fun memories. We want to thank Mom and Dad for the fun times and we will plan on coming again next year!

Jill, you took some really good pictures, some of them are just like mine. I tried not to duplicate yours on the BLOG so everyone could see all the fun we had. How could anyone not want to spend time at the Arizona House? Hopefully all the kids will get a chance. We had fun. Love you guys. Grama S
It sounds like you guys had a ton of fun. We are going to have to make a trip out there. Maybe for Christmas.
How fun! I think I need to go on a spring break. What great memories for your kids. How great to see your kids experiencing the same things you did as a child. I love it!
Jill I thought you were pretty cool when you caught lizards in AZ and told us about it when you came back from spring break! It looks like your kids love their G&G but who wouldn't! Great posts!
