We had a great Easter weekend this year! We left all the snow and cold behind and headed to Arizona for the weekend to visit Grandma and Grandpa Williams! It was a quick trip but we all had so much fun! We drove down all day Thursday and arrived in Phoenix late that night. The next morning we woke up and Grandpa and Grandma told us we could all go outside and pick grapefruits for breakfast! They were so delicious!


Then they showed us around their house. It is a great house. So nice and pretty with all the cactuses and flowers and palm trees! And the orange blossoms smelled SO good!

The boys even got a grand tour of the neighborhood in Grandpa's golf cart!
Then Spencer got his birthday gift from Grandpa and Grandma. Some new coins for his collection specially picked out by grandpa!

Then we headed out and Grandma and Grandpa showed us around Phoenix. They had already scoped out a great skate park for Tyler and Colton when we got there. The boys had a lot of fun skating around at the park.


Then we headed over to Old Town Scottsdale to walk around. We did a little shopping and had dinner at a great mexican restaurant. I don't remember the name but they had amazing fish tacos!

Then all the boys went to the Diamondbacks - Cubs game and the girls headed to the mall to do some shopping.


On Saturday we had a nice relaxing day at the pool. (I'll spare you the pictures. It's been a while since my skin has seen any sunlight. Not cute:) Then grandma got each of boys an Arizona hat.
That night we had a great Easter dinner with a ham and potatoes and fruit salad. Such a pretty table and yummy food! Thanks grandma!

Callie won the family March Madness brackets while we were there. She was excited :)
Easter morning we woke up and opened our easter baskets/bags and left for home.
It was a great trip! So much fun to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa and hang out in the sunshine! Thanks for letting us come stay with you Grandma and Grandpa!
