Life has been crazy busy lately with little time for sleep, family and relaxation--so we took a couple of days and spent some much-needed time away this weekend. On Thursday AM, we packed up and headed up to Flagstaff, AZ. 
Flagstaff is always about 20-30 degrees cooler than Phoenix, so we had a VERY welcome climate and scenery change. We found an AWESOME park in town and hung out for the afternoon~
After checking into the hotel and having some dinner we all went for a swim~
On Friday, we drove up north another couple of hours to the Grand Canyon. When we arrived Anna exclaimed "So that's the Grand Candyland!" We had a great time enjoying the breath-taking scenery, and beautiful drive through the park. We stopped at several look-out points, and had a picnic lunch with the kids--the red wagon came in handy to get around!
On the way home, we stopped about 20 miles into the journey for a cup of coffee. As long as we were there, we decided to get some gas. Chris put the pump in the tank, went inside to get the coffee, then moments later came dashing across the lot to frantically remove the pump from the tank. This deceitful little gas station (the only one for 30 miles--so we hear) cleverly doesn't post their gas prices...so that unsuspecting customers (like us) pay $3.70 per gallon. 
We stayed one more night in Flag--went out for Chinese for dinner. Saturday noon we checked out of the hotel and headed home. Surprisingly enough, the most relaxing time we spent was just after we got home. We put the kids down for a late nap and took a dip in the pool. Whilst Flagstaff was a comfortable 70-75 this weekend, Phoenix was nearing 100--which was fine by us--our pool is now 84degrees...perfect!
