Sunny Arizona

I took a last minute road trip to Arizona last week.  I really wanted to attend my mission president's funeral, as well as visit Grandpa and Grandma Jensen.  I am really glad that it all worked out.  It was very special to attend President LeBaron's funeral, catch up with so many sisters who served on Temple Square with me and to spend some time with Gma and Gpa.  Oh, and it was fantastic to feel the sunshine!  Kylie and Ellie loved being able to go outside and play (and swim!)

Picking fruit!  Arizona has the best oranges and grapefruit....mmmmmm

Of course we got a golf cart ride with Grandpa....we just had to remember to take the keys or else Ellie would have driven away.

Kylie took this picture...she wanted to make sure Mommy Bear was included in our scrapbook.

Kylie took this picture too....she said, "Daddy hasn't seen this kind of palm tree before, so I need to take a picture of it".

We went swimming everyday we were there!  (Kylie would have spent hours in the pool if we had let her and she was super sad that we couldn't go swimming right when we arrived in Mesa since it was night time.)

The girls loved swimming with Gma and Gpa!  This was the first time that Ellie had worn the bubble/floaty and she did great.  She was able to get around the pool and even liked just floating on her back.

On the ride home (granted that it was 2 hours past Ellie's naptime, but this was only 15 minutes after we had gotten in the car)

What a fun four days!
