We went to Winslow the first night... poor little town is so not the happenin town it was probably 20 years ago... i think people go there for one reason.. "standing on the corner of Winslow Arizona"... a song by the Eagles.. well there is a corner set up and people take pictures of the corner...
The hotel had a pool, and the kids enjoyed swimming. We got the kids happy meals and we were going to get mexican food through a drive thru... the menu had us a bit worried, so we ended up with Subway.. much better choice..
We drove up to Flagstaff, where the weather was in the 80's... what a relief. There was an art in the park, so we stopped.. the kids played on the bounce houses, and we enjoyed the people watching.
We found another park to play at until it was time for the movies. We saw the Smurfs.. it was cute. We snuck in treats, and ate popcorn.
The hotel had a pool.. the kids and Blades went swimming and I snuck off to Target and Ross. didnt find much, but it was nice just to window shop..
We visited the train station, and another park, where Camden found some kids to play football with.
We had a great time just being away in the cooler weather. It was a perfect weekend.. Here are the pictures to prove it...
Have you seen enough? I didnt realize there were quite that many pictures.
The trip home was a trip...
what should of taken 3 hours took 5.. I guess everyone wanted away from the heat. Thankfully, the box of snacks and a nap from the kids held us through the bumper to bumper cars for 190 miles.

Cori, we did the same and got out of the heat for Labor Day weekend! Ok, I don't know how long this stint has been of not seeing you but the boys...look...well...older. I guess everytime we blink, these boys grow an inch!
You sure do make some good looking kids. I can not believe how quickly they are growing. I love keeping up on your blogs and your Facebook posts since you haven't been just up the block for so long. =)
