July Staycation

We took a 'staycation' a couple weekends ago. We used one of those Living Social deals (my sis-in-law gave us the heads up-thanks Shay!) and headed to a resort called the Arizona Grand.  It is a very nice hotel with a large water park.  

We spent about 2 hours at the water park and after 5 times around the lazy river we realized our kids are a little young to really enjoy a water park.  However, they loved the lazy river since it was right up their alley.  Later we had pizza, watched a movie, the older girls and I went swimming at the pool near our room, then we headed to bed.  

The next morning we ate a great breakfast (including an omelet bar where David took copious notes as always).  Afterward David took the older girls swimming while Anna napped then we headed out.  It was a quick trip but also so much fun.  We definitely want to make this a tradition every summer.

Sounds really fun! Our neighbors went there a few weeks ago and had a blast--but yeah, their kids are much older. :)

What a fun little trip! I seriously just want to squeeze Anna's chubbiness, she is so adorable!

I am so glad you guys ended up going there - it looked super nice! These little trips always end up being the most fun and cheaper (than normal) makes it that much better!

Vivienne has those same pj's that Anna has on in your pictures!

Love it! Looks like so much fun. The first pic with the girls is gorgeous!! I love Natalie's flying hair a few pics down. You'll have to tell us how to get a deal. We need something like that.

I agree about the water park. Brady can only go down two slides at our Six Flags, and he's a little afraid of the wave pool, so it's the lazy river, kids pool, slides and he's done. It's nice to be out in the water though.
I love your girls in their white swim suit covers. So cute! That would be cool if the Arizona Grand did that every year.
