Snakes, and Princess', and Thrift Stores.....OH MY

It amazes me how friendly people are. Everyone just walks around the neighborhood and drops by. Today Madison and Jayden went to see the desert and to a snake/reptile farm, with Bacha.

They had tons of fun and came back with fake reptiles and stories of seeing a train. Emma, Grandy, Nanny, and myself hit lots of thrift stores in search of the perfect treasure.

The kids dressed up in costumes, made us all where funny things, they then went around to the neighbors and showed off their attire.

We then came back to the house for "Duggan Happy Hour".

First Full Day in Arizona

We had fun the first day. The kids rode bikes around the neighborhood. All the neighbors came out to say hi and wave.....it was like we were in a parade. We then spent lots of time in the pool. We played with bubbles, decorated the sidewalk with chalk, set up a doll house, and got sun burns. Vacation is great! Madison is a fish in water and had a great time diving off the floating device and being "safety girl". Emma got brave enough to use water wings and started swimming . Jayden was terrified and made aunt Allison look like a big meany making him go in the water and then by the end he was master of the pool.

Flying..........

So after lots of prayer and Lorazepam mommy was able to make it on the flight to Arizona. The girls on the other hand were absolutely excited. They each had their blankets and their stuffed animals. The girls did fine. The poor mom in front of me also was traveling with two smaller children. The kids had a screaming contest....lol....began hitting each other....and threw some things. She ordered a bloody mary and if I wasn't rationing out my Lorazepam I would of offered her one. We made it to Arizona in one piece. It is 86 degrees and beautiful.
