This doctors appointment my weight gain was small 163-166. Our baby's heart rate went down 141-129. I asked my doctor about the due dates the ultrasound tech gave us. Dr. Savage said the due date has been changed to January 19th. So technically if we go off the 19th then I am 35 weeks and 4 days but for all our sakes I will keep going off of my original due date. Dr. Savage said she wont let us go past January 29th which just so happens to be my birthday! We are really excited that our baby girl will be arriving sooner then we expected!!!
34 WEEKS. Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.

32 WEEKS.. or is it... ?
This is what's happening this week according to babycenter.com
By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
33 weeks says
This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal.
At this last doctors appointment on monday, these are the changes that have happened. My weight went from 156- 163lbs. The baby's heart beat went from 150-141. My abdomen measured 30-31cm. When I visited Dr. Savage I informed her that some things had come up that have been worrying me. She advised we do an Ultrasound just to make sure that it is nothing to worry about. So I scheduled that for the next day (tuesday).
TUESDAY: The Ultrasound went great! She didn't see anything that we should worry about. In fact everything is going right. I just loved getting an ultrasound and seeing our little baby girl again. Her face is so cute and chubby, or at least what we could see because she had her hands and a foot near her face! Our baby girl also has some hair on the back of her head, probably just fuzz though. Oh and she is already in the head down position!!! The ultrasound technician took some measurements and concluded our baby is almost 5 lbs give or take 6oz and that we appear to be farther along because of how our baby is growing. So We appear to be about 8 days ahead of our regular schedule or so, but the several measurements she made concluded a few due dates Jan 22, Jan 20th and Jan 19th.
It's exciting news to find out you are farther along then you thought! Means possible less waiting. Well from this appointment we got to take home pictures and a recording of the ultrasound.

Thanksgiving
Finally a vacation and one well needed!
Tuesday 20th. After work and a doctors appointment, servicing the car and picking up Kade we got on the freeway and headed towards Boise. We made really good time and arrived at our cousin Shantal's house around 10:30pm. We stayed up talking and watched an episode of Psych.
Wednesday 21st. Shantal drove her own car and we just followed each other all the way to Grangeville (it's a very small town up near washington.) We arrived at about 12:30pm (1:30 MST). First stop was uncle Ricks house where Dad, and the brothers live. We chatted and I let my niece mess my hair up and brush it over and over again. She sure loves girl time especially since she is just surrounded by men. Our next stop was my aunt Sheri's house where Shantal was already at with our other cousins, her brother Bryan just came home from his mission so I met him for the first time. AFter a short visit we stopped at Aunt Tami's where we would be staying, we dropped off our stuff and then headed out. We ate dinner then Mitch left to play basket ball with the boys as I left and hung out with the other cousins. we had a blast with Shantals phone. we would record things in funny voices.
Thanksgiving.
First thing Mitch went to play football with all the boys while the girls at Aunt Sheri's hung out and helped finish the last preparations for thanksgiving dinner. When the boys returned we found out that Bryan got nocked out and he couldn't remember things for quite a while.
Dinner was around 3 and it was so delicious, there were so many new foods that I liked. but most of all I craved pumkin pie and for the remainder of our stay Grammy made sure they saved me more.
After food we sat around, some of us slept and then the rest started to play Pinocle, they played it alot!
Black Friday.
Mitchel, Bryson, Sage, Raden, and I went downtown, First to a bargain store where I ended up buying The Prestige! Then to a bunch of little shops on Main. We had so much fun!
Mitch took me on a date to a mexican restraunt called Palenques it was so Delicious!
Following we hung out with the cousins again and had a blast just sitting and talking, we ended up going down to main street to the new ice cream place. they have these cool tables the one we sat at had Checkers, another one was a whiteboard that you could draw on and they had a stash of games! To end the evening the cousins played Pinocle again (they are addicted).
Saturday 24th.
My hubby and I drove down to Kooskia Idaho (about 30 min drive) On our way we drove through some clouds....
We went there to spend the day with one of Mitchel's best friends Zech and his wife Erika and son Johann. I had a BLAST! I shot my first gun! (other then a BBgun). We shot at a target and I got to shoot about 30 rounds. Mitchel did too! He also shot at this little piece of Kananite (dont' know how to spell it) any way it blew up a log. Awesome!!!
We then played a fun card game with them and had dinner.
It started to rain and Zech let Mitchel and I ride the 4 Wheeler around the property, Mitchel went slow and avoided all pot holes. I got off so Mitchel could have a chance to drive faster.
When we returned to Grangeville All the boys wanted to make a film together in the extra unfinished room upstairs. they were up so late I had to sleep through them because they were also partly in my room.
Sunday 25th
We relaxed after church and played more cards.
Monday 26th
We said goodbye to everyone and headed home. I must say too that Mitch did get pulled over but was let go with a warning! :) and I still have a clean recored of never ever being pulled over while i was in the drivers seat.
We had a great time and can't wait for them to come down when the baby is born.

30 WEEKS
Ten more to go!
Our last doctors appointment went well, I just had a swollen ankle from sitting down for too long. My weight went up to 149-156. Baby's heart rate went from 153-150 this time was pretty neat too because we could hear her heart beat so clear, Dr Savage said it was because baby's back was most likely against my tummy. The next appointment will be two weeks from now instead of four and after a few of those we will b e going every week before the baby is born. I have heard and been told that it will fly by from now on.
We are so excited for thanks giving to pass so we can have Christmas and then finally be in January haha.
Mitch and I were at walmart and ended up signing up to get our pictures taken professionaly, they did it in the Sepia color and we got to dress up all old fashion. I was in a flapper dress with pearls and a hat with flowers. Mitch was in a vest, tie, and old fashion hat. We just picked these pictures up yesterday and sure paid alot for them, I'll just count them as an xmas gift to us or something.
The past month or so I have been wanting to buy a blanket from Gymboree because I like the fabric, the were out of stock for the longest time and finally when they did have at least one I just went a head and bought it. It's pink with cute little penguins and seals on it. I can't wait to use it with her.
Hey I bought a crib!!! It arrived at my parents house the week before thanksgiving and we plan to open and set it up on christmas!! it's a cherry brown color and can transform into a toddler bed and day bed and full bed.
Oh and for those who are wondering the baby shower will be in January for sure at my parents house. I will send out invites once everything is more certain.

28 WEEKS
WHOOPIE!!
Here is my 28 week picture. and here is what to expect this week...
By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world. (coursteousy of babycenter.com)
28 weeks means that I am finally in my third trimester!
We are so excited to be in the final home stretch. She still moves alot and there are not so many flutters anymore, just harder kicks and pushes, and punches. At my last doctors appointment I was concerned about my weight seeing as I gained a bit pretty fast. she just doesn't want me to gain more than 40 lbs total.....well that give me 15 more to go. Also we did a test to see if I have Gestational Diabetes. What happens is you drink this entire bottle of orange soda stuff and wait one hour before they prick your finger and test your blood. Well I passed the test and do not have diabetes.
Dr. Savage asked me if the baby is moving. Boy does she ever, she is very active... So Dr. Savage moves on to listen to her heart beat and as soon as she put the machine on my belly our baby girl kicked back and we could hear the little pop sound of when she hit it. but she didnt' just do it once she did it twice!!! What a stinker.
I'm so excited for the holidays to pass and have her here. So far we have bought some clothes, baby bath, Stroller with carseat and bases, a Canopy cover for the car seat, a cover for breastfeeding, diapers, and a Sling to carry baby in. Next on my list is a crib!!!
This is it without the cover. it is brown and blue with pokadots. we bought this when we did not know the gender of the baby.
This is Mitch being stubborn and having to be in the picture
"Wait wait another one....... this is me thinking of the baby"
This is the canopy cover.

Haunted Forrest
What have we been up to lately? Well pretty much just working and dreaming of when our baby will arrive.
This Halloween we spent it with our neighbors the McCoys. At first at my jobs I was just wearing my gold mask but for the evening Mitch and I went as superheros. My original plan was to dress in black with yellow lines and hold a sign that said Bump Ahead or something to that effect. Then I wanted to go as a Pumpkin and a Skeleton with a skeleton baby in my belly. Either way we did not have time or money to throw these cool things together so instead we went as Superman and Super mom or Super prego lady. Wish I did something more creative. Our neighbors who we like to call Batman and Rachel went as red riding hood and the wolf, they looked great!
First we had a great delicious dinner together at the their house then we went to the Haunted Forrest in American Fork. We wanted to just "Take a Look" but ended up going instead. AFter paying for it and waiting in line we noticed the Warning sign for prego people and I started getting nervous that I would scare myself into labor, I just couldn't let myself get stressed or let anyone scare me too bad.
The whole time I held Mitchels arm and had my other hand prepared to cover my eyes, which I happend to do quite a lot. I did scream a bit and jump. like when a horn blew right next to my ear. or when some guy came up from behind us. or the floating head that actually had a body attached to it. But most of all the part I did not like best was when we walked through a door and there was this black material that was like those blow up bounce houses, any way it was squishing us and I was freaking out!!! I can't handle anything like walls or that material pushing in on me!
Any way a Haunted Forrest was a great idea!
Thank you Batman and Rachel for spending Halloween with us crazy people!
Also we spent some time at our aunts house and did a scavenger hunt were we had to take pictures of us with something on the list. then we had one of those eating a doughnut on a string contests. it was more fun then I thought it would be.
For Thanksgiving we plan to go to Idaho! I'm pretty excited!
We found one Man in a hat!
Also I have a doctors appointment coming but this is exciting because it is my last 4 week apart appointment.

2nd Trimester
One more Trimester to go!
I am so excited for the holidays, time sure will fly by. This has been my favorite trimester so far, the sickness ended and I felt more like myself. Often times I would get hot flashes or something of the sort. I'm becoming more uncomfortable and bigger, also included is more trips to the bathroom and waking up at night. In this trimester we got the opportunity to have an ultrasound done and see our little baby girl move about, and try to put her hand in her mouth. Also I started to feel her move, At first it was just little flutters and soft nudges.....now as we begin another trimester she is not a flutter no longer but punches and kicks. I do however enjoy watching my belly do the wave or see her kick. Lately I will feel pressure in different place and poke and prod in that area to feel what body part she has pressing against me.. the first time this happened I swear it was the outline of a foot or hand!
I'm gaining weight a little to fast and need to eat more healthy and work out more. At this point our baby is about 14 in and 2 1/2 lbs.
Our plan was to move into my parents house at the beginning of January but now it looks like we will be staying until the end of March if all goes well. We are excited to be able to bring our baby home to our place but also excited to be able to stay at my parents house again.
Can't wait until our precious girl Lydia arrives.

24 WEEKS
I'm now actually 25weeks but the pics are of my 24th week.
The last couple of weeks I have not been sleeping well, I wake up several times in the night for no reason and this is not helpful because I wake up at 5 so I can be at work by 6.
This past month I have been going to work at Devcon where I am in customer service answering calls, then by noon I would go to Dowdle Folk art and help out with shipping (love this job even though it's harder to be on my feet now) and on tues and thur I go to the Ice Rink and teach.
I know i'm not the best writer/blogger and that i'm not a very creative/ crafty person but i do love to tell everyone whats happening in my life and that is why I have my blog. Actually it's just to keep family updated.
If you know me I was a very skinny person who could hardly gain any weight and my goal was to be 120lbs. Well yesterday I was having a hard time because according to my scale I gained alot in a short time, i'm currently about 148-150. I shouldn't complain, i'm pregnant and supposed to be getting bigger. but it didnt stop me from txting my mom and my sister to talk about how fat i feel.
In happier news Mitch saw the dentist again but they only added something to his mouth and didn't tighten anything. We had a blast with the Bliss fam this past sat. the boys went to the BYU black out game and Meredeth and I went shopping, we bought lunch, groceries and I got a new long red skirt and a blanket for the baby. That night we went on a date with our men to provo beach resort, it was amazing. On Sunday we went up to WY to celebrate my nephews 6th bday. He is getting so big!
Random note. Lately I have enjoyed playing with my baby. When she is awake and moving alot I will push on my belly and then wait and watch for her to kick that same spot then move my hand and do it again. In sacrament this past sunday Mitch was feeling her move and I had my hand on top of his, she kicked so hard I felt it through his hand on to my hand it was awesome. We also had a little short fun the other day with a flashlight on my belly, she only kicked twice and Mitch seemed to run out of patience. Just so you know I miss having a bathtub, we only have a small shower that barely fits us both, can't wait to have a bathtub again.

Brace Face
So Mitchel just got a full mouth of metal braces. He does not like them very much but he is doing it for me. Happy Wife, Happy Life. And I know the outcome will be totally worth it, we only wish that the process would go faster.
We also just had a another doctors appointment. these are the changes..
Weight: 128-138
Baby's Heartbeat: 150-148
This was the first time they measured my abdomen
Abdomen 22cm
each week the abdomen grows a 1cm and matches the week you are on. So when she measured me I was on week 22 and measured 22.
Our little girls kicks have been getting more firm, the bellys growing and again i don't fit in more of my clothes. The best part is that Mitchel has now felt her kick against his hand. This past sunday in sacrament she was kicking a lot so he was trying to feel it, which brought on lots of smiles from both of us and the lady giving the talk came up to me later and commented on our smiling thinking we were smiling about her talk. We didn't correct her. It's a weird thought to think we are a few weeks away from being in the third trimester. We've bought some baby clothes for the first time, and we still like the name Lydia Mae Shira. Lately i've been thinking of when we should do a baby shower, right now we are have narrowed it down to Nov, Jan. or after she is born.
We also just had a another doctors appointment. these are the changes..
Weight: 128-138
Baby's Heartbeat: 150-148

Baby Shira
At our appointment, we got straight to it. The lady checked the cervix and then the baby's head, brain looks good. We saw the profile of our baby... that is one of my favorite parts!! We could see the baby moving and swallowing fluids then try to put it's hand in it's mouth. Next we looked at the Heart... everything good there, bladder was good, stomache was good too. Baby has two arms, legs, hands and really cute feet. I saw the baby kick and felt it too, it was awesome!!! Well she told us what we were having then came back and checked it again and it was still the same.
We like the following girl names,
This is Baby's face side ways. her mouth is open(that black circle on the middle right.)
WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!
Mitch and I are happy to announce that we are having a Girl!!!!
Lydia Mae Shira
Autumn

1st ANNIVERSARY
This year we both learned to be unslefish and to take care of each others needs.
We didn't have much planned until I got my paycheck. I texted Mitch and said Lets get away this weekend, of course he agreed.
Part one to our weekend. Fri 8/24
My husband is a big meat eater and has never been to Tucanos... so guess where we went? He was in HEAVEN! He even started passing up the chicken cause he just wanted the beef. I on the other hand had both and asked they keep the pineapples coming. One of the men coming around with the meat I happend to know and we enjoyed chatting with him. With no room for desert we went to Macys and bought 2 Martinellis and The Hunger Games.
Part two Sat 8/25
After Mitch ran some errands he picked me up from work and we packed up a bag. By 3pm we were on our way to Logan UT. Once near Logan we got stuck on the Highway due to a big accident, So we didn't arrive to our destination until 5.
Our favorite place is called THE ANNIVERSAY INN. We recomend it to all who want a getaway. When we parked I noticed smoke coming from the engine, turns out the Radiator hose blew a hole and was leaking in the perfect spot to make it smoke. So we ignore it while we sign in and go to our room.
We stayed in the Pirate room, it was so COOL!!! One wall appeard to have had a cannon ball go through it and get stuck on the opposite wall. We had our own private staircase. the bed by the door and bathroom, Jet tub in the middle of the room and TV on the far side. It was AWESOME!!
One quick stop to the Logan temple grounds and we were content. Mitch bought me a gift. A Willow tree figure titled HOME. I love it!
Back at the Inn we had the complimentary sparkling cider and watched Hunger Games which I fell asleep watching. When I woke up we ate at IHOP!! Then returned and neither of us slept very well, It was not our bed.
Sun 8/26 Our Anniversary
Breakfast in bed, and then a martinelli with cheese cake while we watched a movie of our wedding day. What a great way to start our anniversary. After we got ready for the day signed out we picked a random church and went to their sacrament. Following we made a stop at our brothers inlaws house to visit and fix our car.
Upon arrival to our surprise Mitchels bro Bryson was in UT with his two kids!!! We really enjoyed eating dinner with them and playing with our neice and nephew. We also went down to what they call the Hollow (area with a stream and trees). At the Hollow we had smores.
We are so greatful to have had the chance to visit with them and go on our getaway. It may be a long time before we get to do something like that again.

Ketch up
Just wanting to "ketch up" on my blog.
Mitch is hard working at Dowdle Folk Art, They have him working a lot of over time doing shipping and deliveries and getting things ready for shows. thats okay though because I have started a temporary job until the baby is born at Devcon security so i'm pretty busy as well. I just finished two weeks of training for customer service and am still getting used to the ropes.
At our last doc appointment the baby's heart rate went down by 10 so now it is at about 153. My sister vanna says slow rate is a boy and a fast rate is a girl. We will just have to wait and see. Sept 11th we will find out the gender and it cant come any faster!!!!
Mitchel's+me, Mom, And 4 brothers+ friend all went to LAGOON!!! it was planned before we found out we are prego so I went anyway. luckily I got a free ticket so I didn't have to pay to sit around. I enjoyed watching everyone have fun and observe those at the park. Don't worry I didn't do anything crazy at the park, my doc said no. So I went on the rides allowed such as the Ferris Wheel, the terror ride, count dracs ride, the ride that takes you across the park and swimming. I went on rattle snake rapids and yes I did go a little crazy and rode the bat one time and was done.
We all had a great time at lagoon.
In my opinion I think Lagoon needs to rid themselves of their Smoke stations. they are placed in dumb places where you can't avoid them. I wish people would step outside the park to smoke.
Sat my Sisters Cookie+ fam, and Ldybug+hubby, all met at City Creek Center to chill and eat because none of us had ever been there. We had a great time, I truly cherish the moments with my sisters.
Our 1st Anniversary is coming up fast, there is so much we would like to do but not alot of money to spend or time with my work sched. We will see what happens though.
Hope this post wasn't too boring.

Scuba Diving
Yummy food was involved as well as an interesting program full of songs and bird stories, grandpas old acordian, movies of bush jumping, and banjo playing. Games like frisbee, baseball, football, penny hunt for the little kids as well as nail polish. It was quite fun and nice to see family.
Our cousin Rob and his wife Heather had extra spots open, for a group going scuba diving at a place called The Crater. It is located in Midway inside an old volcano. So Mitch, Kade, cousin Tyce and friend all got to go Scuba Diving. As badly as I wanted to join I only got to soak my feet in the hot spring water.
The instructor Ed was pretty cool. Usually you are only supposed to go about 40 feet down, these guys went 55feet down and the farthest you can go is about 60feet. Kades Goggles lense broke at about 40feet down so the instructor gave him his and returned to the surface for more. At one point of time they saw the instructor swim through some rings so they all thought it was play time and split up! :) the instructor had to keep flashing his light to get all their attention, but he sure enjoyed this group!!
I hope that someday I get to join these guys in doing this.

1st Trimester
This is my last week of my First Trimester. This week our baby is to be about the size of a Peach (3 Inches long), the Intestines are on the way to it's proper place, and our baby's Vocal Cords are developing.
So far for our baby we have bought.... A carseat with matching stroller and two carseat basses, diapers, and a baby bath. I am so excited for this baby to come that I just want time to fly by!!!! Last week I was thinking we were having a boy and this week I feel it's a girl! but we still have quite some time until we find out.

1st of Many
On July 6th our first Doctors appointment arrived and this is what happened...
The first big thing they did was draw my blood. YUCK! but i'm pretty sure Mitch enjoyed it though, for the first time I'm the patient and he gets to laugh. So I really don't like needles okay.
I'm chewing ice when Dr. Savage comes in and we talk about some things. The exam has begun and I make Mitch hold my hand. I have never had a pap smear so this was the day to do it.
Above all the best part of the visit and the most memorable was when doctor Savage was saying sometimes we can't hear the heart beat this early and it can take a while to find it... the second she placed this thing on my belly we could just hear the heart beat going so fast (beating at 163). You wouldn't think it would make you feel so happy but It was the most wonderful sound to hear! I was so happy I laughed and then we couldn't find the heart beat again.
I just can't wait to go to the doctor again and hear our little baby's heart beat again!

Special Gift
This is a story about how we found out we were pregnant.
We were on vacation in AZ and I was late, we were not sure if we were pregnant, so I wasn't sure if I should get in the hot tub all three times that I did. I was not sick or anything, just normal me. Mitch and I debated if we should take a test when we returned or wait a week.
So we returned to UT and the following day was Mitchels 25th birthday! His work buddies took him out to JDawgs and I surprised Mitch by meeting them there with the bosses daughter. Afterward I bought a pregnancy test and waited a couple hours before I took it. Lo and behold it read 'Pregnant'!!!!!
Now how am I gonna tell Mitch?? I texted him to let him know I got the results and was not gonna text it to him. He started to belive that the results were negative. I decided to write a little note that said I finally figured out what to get him for his birthday but he couldn't have it for another nine months. I left this note on our front door. When he got home, boy was he excited!!!
To celebrate his birthday and the pregnancy we went to Mi Ranchitos!! Then to the bookstore to buy me a pregnancy book. Last trip was to the theatre to watch the new Men In Black three movie.
It was the best birthday ever!!

Family Reunion
Every year we have a day of family reunion fun, This year it lasted a whole week!!
It all started when my sister Vanna arrived from AZ with her kids, I spent several days in a row with her shopping and going to places like, the Bean Museum, The Candy Store, Clark Planetarium, Down east basics, and to my Moms work.
The reunions started on June 30th with the annual Watkins Family reunion (my dads mothers side). Every year this is held at the family cabin in Hobble creek canyon, ususally all the little kids play on the paddle boats in the pond or play tetherball, volley ball, etc. In the mean time the parents eat and chat. We also love to take photos!! We really enjoyed it this year especially cause everyone got family history books from my great uncle, (he gave us one for our wedding, it was the best gift ever!)
Monday July 1st. Mitch and I had a wedding to go to, and Mitchel's cousin was beautiful. Following that we went to my grandparents for FHE and listened to old stories.
Tuesday 2nd I went and saw Brave with my niece and nephews.
4TH OF JULY! It all started with the parade which was so much fun. Next stop Park City for food, swimming and games with ALL the cousins, aunts, and uncles. it was SO MUCH FUN. To finish the day we went to the PHS softball field to watch the Stadium of Fire Fire Works.
Saturday we had lunch with the whole family in celebration of our grandparents 80th birthday and 60th anniversary.
Well it was a great week with family and I can't wait to see family again.

Sunny AZ
Ahhh Arizona. At the end of the month of May, Mitchel, our friend Ryan and I drove to St. George where we stayed the night at our friend Trevs Grandmas house. The following day we made it to Mesa!
Of course we stayed at my sisters place. I LOVE VISITING. and I love the swimming which we did every day.
Lets get to the point, the whole reason we were there was for my cousins wedding. My cousin I Lean married my husbands Best Friend Trev McIntosh. Their wedding was beautiful and they both looked amazing and we really enjoyed the beautiful sealing. They had a luncheon with delicious wraps and sandwhiches, then later that evening they had a reception with light music and food.
WE LOVE YOU MCINTOSH NEWLY WEDS!
On this trip I we met our nephew for the first time, and boy is he cute! we loved to play with him and my nieces who kept wanting to play board games and go swimming. I also have this amazing Brother in law Maeser, he is a great cook, we had very full filling meals. One of the evening after we went swimming They took us to the Mesa Grill. WOW talk about delicious.
Our last day in AZ was a sunday, we ended it with a spectacular dinner which included a roast, a night walk and then a movie.
I LOVE ARIZONA.
On our trip home we pulled over just past lake powell and climbed up some rocks and mountain stuff, Heck I dont know what you call it.
until next time AZ.

It takes 1hr 30 min from start (near the dam) to the finish(just after the turn off to vivian park.) It was so much fun!!
