Staycation Vacation part 3 Swimming
What else is there to do in Phoenix in the summer.... swim! We went swimming at my old pool, which is much nicer now by the way.
Staycation Vacation part 2 Amazing Jakes
My mom was able to get tickets to Amazing Jakes pizza place as well. That was a lot of fun. I think if we go again we will go earlier in the day so we can spend more time there. Eating the buffet took half our time, but at least it was good food!
This is all of us. I like the black and white picture the best but Tad doesn't, so below is the color one.

Staycation Vacation part 1 Sunplash
This year we decided to do a staycation vacation in Phoenix since we had to be there for doctors appointments anyway. We started off by visiting Tad's brother Greg in their new fancy home with a splash pad and pool. The kids had a lot of fun.
Love the boogers Darci.
We also went to Sunsplash. My mom was awesome enough to use her trade points to get us into Sunsplash. Everyone had a lot of fun. I think it would be better just to take the older kids but Darci had fun too. They have a new rule about wearing life jackets and that kind of put my mind at ease a little. This is everyone in their new swim shirts ready to go.
Darci loved the wave pool until the waves started coming...
Derek absolutely loved Sunsplash this year since he is a good swimmer. He was brave and went on all the slides. There was a black tunnel slide that he went down on an inner tube and came out without it. Apparently when he was turning a corner, he slid off the tube and kept going. It scared him a little but he still kept going on the slides.
Darci wasn't happy about being on the lazy river with Daddy.

Karate Camp
The college hosted a week-long karate camp for $15 so we signed up Derek and Kevin and Paige. They had so much fun and learned a lot. Wish we could afford it every month but it's way too much, I think like $85 each or something. So it will just be something they enjoy for a week each summer!
And each day after class, we would go to the middle school for their summer free lunch. I think they enjoyed that even more than karate! They feel so grown up eating in a cafeteria.
