Rest and Relaxation

I love going to Matt and Lori's for vacation because it is so relaxing.  We all just lounged around and played games when we weren't in the pool.  Keith and I slept in every morning and it felt great!
We took the girls shopping a couple of times, but other than that we really didn't go out much.  We didn't want to risk getting the virus and face masks are mandatory in Arizona, so we just stayed at the house. Lori got all of the kids shirts and stuff to tie dye them.  The kids had a lot of fun with that and they were so excited to see how their shirts turned out.
They all loved their shirts and wore them the rest of the trip!
Elena and Caitlyn made some delicious cup cakes one night.
Here is a cute picture of the kids on Sunday. 
Jonah and Cody crack me up. 
More fun in the pool. 
The kids had fun jumping off the rocks and the side of the pool.  I love the big palm tree in their back yard.
Every night the older kids would stay up and play games together.  We loved hearing them laugh together from downstairs.  The adults played some games too and watched a couple of movies.  The evenings were so fun and relaxing.
We were planning to drive home on Saturday, but we didn't want to go home, so we decided we might as well stay one more day and drive home Sunday.  I'm so glad we did.  Saturday morning Matt and I took the convertible to sonic for drinks.  Later we played volleyball in the pool for a while and then the adults got dinner that night and parked and ate so we still felt like we were getting away.
We let the kids stay up late Saturday night.  Here they all are up in the loft. They had fun playing games, watching movies and playing video games up here.  The four older kids rented a movie that night and stayed up late.  It was sad to leave to come back home.  It was such a wonderful, relaxing week.
