Aunt Lael’s

We LOVE Aunt Lael!  Some aunts are hard to love, but this aunt you can’t help but LOVE!

My girls planned a trip to Arizona to visit her this summer.  She was cute and sent a list of activities and projects they could choose from.  They talked non-stop about this trip ALL summer long.

Finally the day arrived.  I ended up flying down there as well to stay with my sister Alesha, that had just moved to Phoenix.  So with lip gloss on and a bag filled with treats we boarded the plane to start our adventure.

Isn’t Aunt Lael beautiful!  She is one of the sweetest!

The girls made fancy treats, cute bracelets, and snuggly blankets.

 

They went out for Janie’s birthday, to a water park, on a gorgeous hike, and out to lunch with Grandpa and Grandma Brenda to Chili’s. 

 

You Arizona people probably will recognize this hike.  I can’t remember the name of it.

I on the other hand hung out with this cute little sister.  We decorated her new home, shopped like crazy and enjoyed an amazing dinner at The Yard.  Dave was teasing us about taking pictures of our food, but how could we not with a tomatillo FLOWER!!!  So enjoyed the conversation and that night!

Then we headed home to our normal, ridiculously boring, not fun, real life!  :(

     

And started dreaming and talking about our next trip …
