Peace, Love & Splash Pads

A trip to Phoenix wouldn't be complete without popping over to the other side of town to see the other side of my extended family - The Wendelboes (Aunt Nita, Uncle Nick & Boe) & McIntosh's (Katie, Rob, Necoli & Elyse). Here are some pics of our great visit.

Grandma drying me toweling me off after round one in the splash pad.

Here's round two with the splash pad - this time I brought a bucket to help me catch all the water.

After I finished with the splash pad, had a quick change of clothes and a new diaper, it was off to try out Necoli & Elyse's slide.


Necoli & Elyse are soooo lucky, on the opposite side of the play center from the slide, they have a climbing wall combined with a staircase. This is me & Elyse climbing up so we can come down the slide.

After Elyse and I played on the play center we decided to try our hand at driving. I did most of the driving as you can see but Elyse was a great friend came along for the ride. She didn't even complain that I went backwards instead of forwards!

Here's a close up of me studying the wheel, a girl has to know how it works! Elyse is looking on, hoping we will get moving soon but being super patient with my inquisitive nature.

Mommy said I had to put this picture in so that everyone could understand just how patient Elyse was being with me. The car was only made to seat one but Elyse and I wanted to do everything together (Mommy even took me out at one point and I tried to crawl right back in). Anyways since my side didn't open that meant the extra room came from Elyse's side, we squeezed but Elyse was still only halfway in the car.

Here is Aunt Nita, Elyse, Great Gram Freeman, me & Granddaddy Doc. I know that not everyone is looking at the camera but this was the only one that I wasn't screaming. I really wanted to be outside playing with Elyse not getting ready to leave or taking a picture.

After a great visit across town, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Granddaddy Doc and I returned "home" to Aunt B's for a quick visit with Aunt B & GiGi then it was off to bed for me and night of packing to return home for everyone else. Before I turned in for the night I climbed up on the couch between Mommy and Missy Girl (Aunt B's pup-pup). If Missy Girl were Abby or Izzy it wouldn't be a big deal seeing as I terrorize them on a regular basis but Missy Girl is normally very skittish around people and hadn't spent much time around little ones like me. So this evening was a huge deal because Missy Girl not only got up on the couch next to Mommy but then she staid there while I climbed up, turned around, sat down and then waited to for Daddy to get the camera and take a picture. It shows how much Aunt B has worked with Missy Girl - its amazing you give a pup-pup love and miracles really do happen!

Peace, love & splash pads,
