Phoenix with Friends

Covid quarantine in Washington is ridiculous and keeps getting worse. Lucky for us, Darcy's dad has an air bnb in Phoenix.  There were a lot of cancellations because of covid so we were able to sneak in a long weekend.  We actually went down during the week and I did my teaching from one of the bedrooms.  I guess that's a perk of online teaching, especially with the craziness it is right now.  So we headed down and were happy to embrace mask free, almost completely normal life.  

We spent most of our time at the house and playing in the pool.  A lot of Cornhole also.













We went to a restaurant that has live music, picnic tables, and fire pits thinking it'd be a fun evening.  Unfortunately the food wasn't good and the kids were too antsy and bored to wait for the music to actually start, so we didn't stay long enough to see it.   There was a caricature artist there.  We couldn't get Dillon to do it because I wanted him to take off his sun glasses.  We can actually see the resemblance for Carson.  

Kayda... Not so much.

We found an open water park so of course we had to go!  They had 6 feet marked out for all the lines... Nobody paid any attention. I think a lifeguard said something once.  They had some waterslides that work like rollercoasters that you ride a tube on.  They were pretty fun.  Dillon, Dad, Austin and Landon did a speed slide that has you stand on a platform that drops out from under you.
