The girls and I went to visit my parents for 10 days! Here are a few peeks at our nice long trip.
Isis very excited to fly on the plane.
Elise's first plane ride.
She did great.
New toys inspire stronger neck muscles.
Jeremy joined us for 3 days.
A trip to the Tucson Zoo
Playing in water tops seeing the animals.
Isis' favorite were the fun otters. Daddy, Uncle Thomas, & Grandpa liked them too.
"What about the R.O.U.S.'s?" "Rodents of Unusual Size?....I don't think they exist."
(A capybara is a rodent.) Isis labeled the jaguar a "bad cat." Probably because she growled while we watched her.
Isn't this just the cutest face EVER??
My world-traveling-can't-stay-still-totally-awesome sister just got back from a trip to India.
Aunt Katherine was thinking of Isis there. :) I love this sari on her.
"Namaste."
looking up to her big sister
We went swimming almost everyday
Grandpa and his two favorite granddaughters.
Elise's first time in the pool. She loved it!
Elise rolled over for the FIRST time at Grandma's house!! At 3 1/2 months! :)
She rolled, picked something up, and looked at it. Pretty pleased with her accomplishment.
Trampoline fun
I got to see my brother Stephen in a production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
He did a great job on his acting as well as building the set!
The girls with their Great-grandpa Willis
Some of Jeremy's co-workers didn't think I could travel by myself with the girls.
This is just a ha-ha-I-can-and-did-do-it picture. Yes it looks crazy but it worked - perfectly.
(I hate when people say I can't do something.)
P.S.- Both legs of the trip went wonderfully.
It was a GREAT trip! Thanks for letting us come family!!
We went to the Sonoran Glass Art Academy while visiting Tucson.
Cooling the rod to handle it.
Warming the glass back up.
The glass was put in a mold...
...and then rolled to create a swirl.
Blowing the glass. Getting the air into the glass at the beginning is hard.
Jeremy blew a ball ornament.
My turn.
Adding color to the glass.
Making the bottom of my bowl flat.
Heating it up to smooth out the jagged edges and get the opening ready to...
...SPIN! That's how it spread out to be a bowl and got the cool wavy edge.
"Beating" the completed bowl off the rod.
This was a super fun and different date! Hooray for new things!
