Arizona

I got a couple more pictures with everyone there.  We all loved hanging out in the pool.  
Lori got me a cheesecake and a really cool candle for my birthday.  The candle started out as one, but opened up into a lot of candles and played a song. It was pretty cool.
Wednesday morning everyone left to go home.  The house seemed so quite and empty with everyone gone.  Hallee and I slept in the guest room and Wyatt moved up to the bunk bed upstairs.  Hallee is so cute, she loves to straighten up.  She would straighten up the room and make the bed and fold all the blankets.  
Wyatt and Matt played Monopoly a couple of times.  The games went on for a couple of days.  Wyatt loved playing with Matt.
Hallee and Elena spent a lot of time together. They played Minecraft, played games and did crafts.  They told me that they practiced their burns on each other!  Hallee loved having that time with Elena.
We all enjoyed down time every day and relaxed and played on our phones.
The kids had fun playing in the pool.  Lori and I made pizza for dinner and took it out to them.
I love that Hallee plays pretend on her own.  She is so good at being creative and using her imagination.
Matt and Lori made us our own little chickens one night for dinner.  It was so good.
Elena and Caitlyn were so good at including Hallee.
Wyatt would get in the pool a few times a day.  He liked to have it to himself.  I would watch him out the window.
I had fun playing in the pool with Wyatt and Hallee.
The kids loved playing Coup.  They all love it and played it a ton.  Keith and Jonah were going a little stir crazy at home.  Jonah felt very tired and achy for a couple of days and he lost his taste and smell.  Keith worked from home to be safe and keep an eye on Jonah.  He said they would go get take out for dinner every night and that was exciting because they were both very stir crazy by the end of the day. We were told that Jonah needed to isolate for ten days after his symptoms started and as long as his symptoms were improving, he shouldn't be contagious anymore. Keith and Jonah flew back to Arizona on Wednesday night.  They got here after midnight.  Jonah was feeling fine by then and we were so glad that the ten days were up and we could still go to Mexico! I was so happy to have my family back together again.  We left early Thursday morning for Mexico!  I was so relieved and so grateful to hear that no one else got sick.  I was so worried that someone caught Covid from Jonah, I can't believe that no one else caught it.  I've said many prayers of gratitude for that blessing!

Looks like a great time! I'll have to learn Coop. I've never heard of that game.
