We recently took a family vacation to Scottsdale, Arizona with our friends the Koplans and Castros and we had such a blast. The weather was perfect, not too hot and not too cool allowing us to swim almost every day, all day (granted, the pool was always heated to a perfect 90 degrees). On the cooler days we did a little shopping at Fashion Square Mall (0ne of the best malls I've been to in a long time), and took the kiddos to the train park.

Macyn LOVED the pool and she swam around and around every chance she got. Gwen was so sweet and let Macyn use her puddle jumper flotation device after she became an expert swimmer practically overnight!! Macyn loved to float on her back while her daddy and I would chant "relax, relax." She also learned how to blow bubbles in the water. She is so ready to swim, I bet by our next vacation get-together she will be swimming alongside Gwen and Whitney. This time, she just had a good time floating around with Whitney!

Macyn also learned how to play pool during this vacation!! We are preparing her for a career as a pool shark, who would suspect a little 2 year old could whip some butt in pool?? The only issue she had was keeping the tips on the pool cues...she knocked every single tip off of every single cue.

We had such a great time and the girls really acted like sisters which made me think of my own sisters and our relationship with each other. Gwen was the older sister, she was the "cool" one that both Whitney and Macyn wanted to be like. Kerry brought over some of her nieces toys which included various pairs of plastic princess shoes. Gwen of course loved walking around in them and Whitney and Macyn quickly followed along in their shoes (although their little feet didn't quite fit as well). All three of them were so cute and played together pretty well. I loved watching them interact, especially Macyn who is just starting to really want to hang out with other kids and play with them instead of just going off on her own.
We had a great vacation with awesome friends and I can't wait for the next one!!!
