arizona girls

This was a big deal.  My baby girl went on a trip without me, or daddy, for five whole days.  She got on a plane (with auntie and Lucy), flew to Arizona, and had a marvelous time....all without me!  I missed my girl, but am grateful for the time she got to spend with nana, auntie, and Lucy.  I had a pretty great time with Noah while Ava was gone, but boy did he miss his sister.  I didn't realize how much those two played together and kept each other entertained.  Wow.  He talked.....a LOT.  It was a great few days with my little guy.

Meanwhile...in Arizona.....Ava the lizard hunter!


This is her sweet friend Lancey. They became fast friends on our last trip, and Ava was able to spend Sunday afternoon with her.
Apparently she was cold...in 90 degree weather.
Message to her brother!
1) Fierce Ava.  2) She never leaves home without Tiger. I wrote her a note to open each day she was there. 3) This little lady was busy! 4) Look at that face, she looks like her mama.
Park time!
Somebody didn't want to leave...
