fun in the sun.

A few weeks ago, Ryan and I started talking about how much we needed a little vacation and how it would be fun to go see Jason (ry's brother) in Arizona. So after some searching, talking to our parents, and some very last minute planning. My Mom and Dad, Ryan and I, and Norah were in the our small SUV ready for the 10 hour hall to Phoenix (which included only one major throw up by Norah each way). On Craigslist, we found a great deal to rent a condo there, with a pool and tons of other great stuff to do. It was near the brand new Salt River Fields, where the Rockies play their spring training, and near where Jason lives for the month of March to work at the San Francisco Giants spring training facility. So, for 6 nights and 5 of the fastest days ever, we enjoyed some fun in the sun in Arizona. It was a PERFECT place for Norah....the four of us didn't mind it much either.

We spent quite some time in the pool!

Norah especially loved the kids pool, that was only 12 inches deep, so she could walk all around!

There were 3 beautiful tennis courts, so I decided to get Nor started early.

um...no comment.

Norah going out exploring with Papa first thing in the morning - became one of her favorite times.

family pictures on a timer....need i say more.

At the Rockies games, we purchased tickets in the grass for only $8 (Nor was free). This couldn't have been better, Norah could run around up and down the hill and managed to last through 2 full games, which would have never happened in the stands. And, she was simply adorable in her hat.

This was how she would run up the hill, put her head down and dig in!

Her favorite part of the Rockies by far, was when her Daddy took her to meet the mascot "Dinger", she got an autographed picture of him and still has it and hugs it and kisses it (yes, the picture)

The miniature golf course also provided much needed room to run and play!

So blessed to be able to make the trip work! We needed it, because as of Saturday, wedding season begins!
