David's work family invited us to their family staycation last month. We love spending time with them, it makes us feel like part of a family again! We had a great time at the Buttes which is a resort built right into a mountain in Tempe. Pretty cool and so much fun.
The first night we ate pizza, swam for a bit, went on a walk around the resort, then most of the kids headed to our room to watch Tangled and eat popcorn and starburst.
We spent most of the day Saturday in the pool-about 4 hours in the morning and another 2 that night! The girls loved showing off their skills they'd been working on in swimming lessons.
They had this great water slide that was perfect for kids. I think Natalie went down it at least 20 times. She would go down, land in the pool, swim to the side, climb out, then climb the stairs back to the beginning of the slide. Also about halfway through the slide she would flip from her back to her tummy and come out that way. The lifeguards (and some of the other swimmers) knew her by name and cheered her on each time--it was SO funny.
The water was so warm and they had a great step that went all the way around the shallow end so Anna just monkey-walked around everywhere.

David competed with these 2 lovely ladies (Natalie and Trudy) in a handstand contest
Beautiful!
Trudy ordered us some poolside drinks-she really spoiled us!
All of us fell asleep for an afternoon nap
We woke up early Sunday morning and got dressed for church. We ate breakfast, checked out, then went straight to church! We had such a great time, we definitely want to head back to the Buttes next year! Thank you Blount Family!

What a fun staycation, your girls are getting so big! David did a great handstand! :)
Staycations are soooo much fun! When we lived there in AZ, we did one (can't remember the name), but it was a blast. Looks like you guys had an awesome time.
Poolside drinks and Tangled??! A dream for kids everywhere. Looks like fun.
I love the handstands :)
