My company rents a boat for the Seafair festival and this year the Blue Angels returned. Ciara came over to hang out with the kids while we enjoyed a beautiful day on the lake!
At the end of August I made my first solo trip with Gabe & Zara. I had to travel to VA for work so the kids stayed in PA with family while I was working in VA . We were a little worried that the kids would get homesick since this was their first trip away from Mom and Dad but they didn’t seem to care. They wouldn’t even talk to me on the phone when I called them.

We asked our friend Julie to take some photos for us for our holiday card and she got some amazing shots. Most of the time Gabe & Zara refuse to pose for us when we’re taking their picture but for some reason they were awesome for Julie. The only snag we hit was that their glasses turned into sunglasses in the sun so we only got a few photos with their glasses.

Zvonimir had a mandatory training class in Arizona and since one of my good friends who I had not seen in over 10 years lives in AZ, we thought it was the perfect excuse to tag along and get some sun. While Zvonimir was at work, Gabe, Zara and I lounged by the pool. The resort was wonderful! There was a large pool and a big lazy river. The kids had a blast hanging out at the lazy river. The resort even had an Easter Bunny who hosted an egg hunt.

Each day the Gabe, Zara and I had a nice breakfast then headed to the pool. It was very relaxing! One morning we drove to breakfast so that we could go to meet my friend Joanne, who had posted on Facebook about being in Scottsdale at the same time so we were meeting up. As I was backing out a low curb/flower bed happened to be in my blind spot and I scratched the car bumper (quite bad!). Of course the first thing they told their dad that night was that I wrecked the car!

We were also able to catch up with my cousin and his family before they moved to NY. It was such a great trip and the kids were very well behaved. It was one of the most relaxing vacations I’ve had with them. They want to go to Arizona every year for vacation!
