If I had a dollar every time I heard, 'are the cousins here yet?' I could go to Starbucks for weeks. What a blessing to be able to see the Graue's, although we missed Tom. We spent the night in Tucson at Matt's parents house, had a great dinner and just a fun time talking.

Brandon, the oldest cousin, Ashley, Ryan, Alyssa, Mia, & Madison...

You can't visit Arizona and not see a scorpion...we got the boys a scorpion lollipop.

Dennis, Shannon, & Matt

Ryan listening to his tunes.

Madison was so excited to be around new faces...I think she loved that the cousins were 'boys.'
Wild Horse Pass Resort
The cousins and Grandpa and Grandma stayed at the resort for one night, so the kids could swim and hang out. It was fun, but really hot!

I wonder how many times Alyssa and Ryan went down the slide...?

There's everyone at the top of the slide.

Madison loved going down with her dad.



Looking at the fish.

It was fun...
Adventures to Rawhide
From the resort you can take a boat ride to Rawhide, the Western themed town.

Family picture in the resort...

We all piled into the boat.

The driver said we should watch out for crocodiles...

We had the best driver going over...he played some sweet songs, like Roll'em Roll'em Roll'em - Rawhide and the theme song to Sponge Bob Square Pants.

We were cracking up...

Mia thought Brandon was so cool, and tall.




This picture cracks me up!
Desert and Dancing at the Steak House.



Alyssa and Grandpa did a crossword puzzle.

Brandon was the only one who ordered the chocolate cake...it was huge!
Notice all the other forks digging in, I did too! It was a fun evening. The next morning we went to breakfast at the Cracker Barrel...then stopped by our house before the cousins drove back to Tucson. A quick photo session...
