We had all been looking forward to escaping this rain and getting a week in HOT Arizona. My parents went down a week early and I would get a call from my mom while she was laying in the sun saying it was 90 degrees...I was so excited! So...we got in on Monday night and just our luck the weather changed. We were sitting around in the morning looking at cloudy skies and thinking of what we could do to entertain the kids...it was just like being in Oregon over spring break...depressing! Despite the cold wind and drizzle we headed to Cracker Jax where the kids always have fun bungee jumping, riding the bumper boats and driving the go carts. We managed to kill a couple hours there although there wasn't a lot for the little ones to do...and they are the ones who need the most entertainment! Leaving Jalen and Addie together inside a house for hours on end is not pleasant for anyone! Being almost 3 they are in the midst of the "mine" mentality and whatever one has the other wants and they battle it out with a screaming match that would drive anyone crazy and then usually end it with someone being pushed, pinched, hit or bit. The Daddy's took them on the bumper boats which they thought was pretty cool and Jalen was able to drive one of the mini go carts...although they had to manually start it for him and let it idle because his legs weren't long enough to reach the pedals. Anything that goes vroom puts a smile on his face!
