One wardrobe malfunction and two spilled drinks later... we arrived in beautiful Phoenix. We had a great time and although we missed daddy, we didn't really want to come home just yet! Ann had an entire agenda planned for us. First we played a round of mini golf and 398 games of skee-ball. She then cooked for us... she made spaghetti... and we SURVIVED!
Unfortunately, the garage door had a different plan. We will not be deterred, though!
Thank God for our BEST friend, Tom (tom), who got us to and from our destinations many times.
We then ate at a very cool pizza place. It has a huge organ in the middle and the organ pipes go all the way around the restaurant. The organist does a show every 30 minutes or so and the lights come on and flash to the music. We had a blast!

On Thursday we ventured out to the Grand Canyon. It is about a 4 hour drive. Chloe came down with a mysterious tummy bug. She ran a low grade fever and her symptoms came and went on and off the rest of the vacation. Strange, but she is 100% better now. I have to say that pictures do not do the Grand Canyon justice. It is like nothing else you will ever see. Absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, it was about 34 degrees with 40 mph wind gusts that day. We froze our hineys off!
The next day we drove home and our plans included getting a tattoo. See the top of the post. On the left is big sister, and on the right is little sister. We were going to get it on the top of our foot, but the tattoo place was too busy and asked us to come back in an hour or so. Unfortunately, that didn't fit into our schedule. Maybe next time. Instead, we went to the park...
On Saturday, it was time to go home. Chloe was very upset, so we agreed to look at flights for this summer. Originally, I was not looking at visiting Arizona in the middle of summer when it was hotter than hates. However, this trip made me realize just how much I miss my sister and wish we could spend more time together. We had a layover in Dallas and Grandma came to the airport for a quick visit. One of the (few) perks of working for the airline. We love you Grandma!
So... what did Chuck do while we were gone? I'm sure he enjoyed the quiet. He replaced the kitchen faucet without injury to the kitchen or himself. The house was immaculate and there wasn't a bit of laundry to be done. Thank you, baby!
