Our week in Phoenix (at least the second half after Dad arrived from CT) was dedicated to avoiding the 90 plus degree heat; our bodies were submerged in water at every opportunity. A giddy Max floated freely down the lazy river in his own personal inflatable tube while his big brother used the same tubes big boys and moms and dads use-- all by himself--when he wasn't hitching a ride on mom's back or riding down the waterslide. Will and cousin Thomas played and bickered and hugged and acted goofy. Monsters Inc was the DVD of choice. Gonzo the Gecko came out to see us. Waterfalls were the favorite sight. The shuttle was our favorite mode of transport. Dad and Will built a river city in the sand. Daiquiris were yummy. Grandma and Grandpa were generous as always and Will and Max wished they had more time with them.
