We were bound and determined to go on a hot holiday while I was on maternity leave. We were hoping to go to Cuba, but decided at the last minute to go to Phoenix. We figured the flight was shorter, the weather was warm but not crazy HOT (being more child friendly), that we could rent a house with a pool so that Ryder could still nap and we could still be outside in the sunshine, that we could check out the desert, and that maybe, just maybe my sisters or mom could join us.
Yep, it's a Superman one piece swim suit!! Ok, it's too small, but I squeezed him into it, cause it's cute, isn't it???
We found a great house for rent on the internet. It was Canadian owned, advertized as "Canadians renting to Canadians." The place had a pool and was located in the San Tan Valley, just an hour from Phoenix. It had four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and was in a family friendly neighbourhood.
Once we had everything squared away, we invited, my sisters and mom to join us on our last minute holiday. We knew chances were slim that anyone would be able to join us on such short notice, but we thought we'd invite anyway. To our surprise, we got a text from Aimee and Shane, once we were already there, saying they had found CHEAP flights and that they'd like to join us!! Yippee!!!
The boys spent a lot of time at the pool together.
I know, I know, I have included way too many pictures, but I couldn't help it! The trip was so much fun!!
