Arizona Trip 2017

Mommy, Carter and Jayden took a trip down to Arizona to visit cousins with Grammy.
We had a blast!!

Two of these kids are not too excited about going to the zoo.

"Guys, I think we are lost"

Mommy taking pictures...again!

Here we see the Jayden-bird.
She enjoys spending time in a hollow tree, waiting for tourists to bring her food.

Here is the giant Carter-tortoise.
He pretends to be slow and harmless, until his victim is not looking; then he strikes.

Carter: "Help I've fallen into a hollow tree!"
Jayden:  "Run!"

Best cousins

She is so proud of her rocket

Hula hooping is hard!

What could cause this gripping terror in a small child?
.......

Behold the monster!

Code blue
Dr. Batty to the rescue!

Craig's three favorite people.

The one not-silly picture of this photo shoot.

Practicing their graffiti skills.

On our way through AZ we had to visit our old stomping grounds.
Sliding down the yellow slide near are apartment.

So little

Climbing the trees near our apartment.

So little

And no Arizona trip is complete without a ride around the golf course with Uncle Danny!

Or a ride with Grandpa Batty

Back at home.....

A tribute to uncle Kyler.
It's hard to see the black yarn, but Carter has tied himself to the couch and can't get out.

First step, this small rock...
Next step, that big mountain!

This little girl wants to save the environment and not waster paper.

Ta-Da!

Shake and shake the ketchup bottle,
None will come and then a lot'll.

Residency polar plunge.
During retreat we all walked through 2 feet of snow to jump into a pond at 11:30 PM. 

She's a lumberjack and She's okay! She sleeps all night and works all day!
