Arizona

We made a whirlwind trip to Arizona for the wedding of my cousin Jayme and her new husband Tim recently. It was our first time flying as a family of four and it was quite smooth. Garrett got to sit in his own seat and did really well on the way out there and on the way back. Ezra didn't seem too bothered by flying either. The whole Crane family (20+ of us) stayed in a gigantic and beautiful house on the Colorado River for the event. It had plenty of space for all of us, a wonderful pool, and fabulous views. It was so great to be out there with everyone, although we saw little of Ezra because he spent lots of time with aunts and Garrett was off playing with the "big kids" much of the time. The weather was more bearable than I'd expected, but still darn hot!! Garrett spent much of the weekend running around in his underwear, which he proudly shows off now that he is potty trained! (and his moms and pretty proud too, plus now we only have 1/2 the amount of diapers to wash - score!)

Thursday we hung out at the house and played in the pool all day long. Friday we spent the day at the spa with all the bride, her bridesmaids, and family. Saturday was the big event and we came home Sunday. We missed the family trip to the Grand Canyon and Painted Dessert because we had to come back to go to work (boo). I'll post more pictures of the trip when I get them from my mom who good some great shots. The view from one of three decks at "da party pad"
