Arizona 2009

So far, so wonderful.  As expected, the Arizona portion of my trip has been just lovely.  Busy, but lovely.  Between two graduations and two birthdays, every day has been a wild ride of activity.  The first two days Littleman and I just sat by or in the pool. We ate by the pool, played with legos by the pool, napped by the pool, you know, generally did not leave the poolside.  The only drag about vacationing at 7 months pregnant is the exhaustion.  The heat and excessive eating make for a very tired pregnant woman...and with all the parties and such, I've had to keep Littleman up WAY past his bedtime nearly every night.  He has been awesome...really, truly awesome.  He saved his super-tired meltdown for the end of all the graduation/party type things.  And although I nearly tore my hair out from having to carry a hysterical, nearly 4 year old, to a car parked in a field, wearing high heels, at 10:30 pm, we not only survived, but had a really great time. (Well...aside for that 35 to 40 minute period.)

Here are some highlights of our week.  We leave for NJ tomorrow.

Celebrating Grandpa's birthday.

Littleman getting ready to open his presents.

Littleman napping by the pool....

Littleman STILL napping poolside, TWO hours later! (The first nap he's taken in MONTHS.)

Littleman on a REAL horse, NOT a pony!  He loved it. 

Littleman catching a few snoozes on Grandpa's boat.

Here's how to get a pregnant lady good and crispy - drag her on a raft forty feet behind a speed boat. (Don't worry, we never went real fast.  When asked how he liked it, Littleman responded, "It's THE BEST!" - okay, he's making that face down there because he had just woken up from his nap.)

Chillin' as we ride back to home base....
