On Feb 21 Cooper & I somehow endured the crazy security check (with a baby, stroller, 2 bags this was not an easy thing), boarded the airplane & set off to Kingman, AZ (via Las Vegas). I was so worried that Cooper was going to be a terror during our 4.5 hour flight. Fortunately with many prayers, much faith, & a blessing-I was completely wrong! Coop was a champ! (even though we were squished in the middle seat)
One of my bestest friends Rachael (& daughter Charlotte) picked us up from the airport. (I may or may not have teared up at the sight of my dear friend) After a quick stop at In -N-Out Burger (my first experience) we headed deeper into the desert sand for Kingman, AZ.
I was in Kingman from Tuesday until Sunday morning. We seriously had a blast. I loved spending so much time with the Adams. My apologizes to Scott for taking over his house, wife, & child for so long. Thanks for putting up with me & my kid!
Here are some of the fun things we did:
-Toured Kingman
-Ate some delicious food made by the Adams
-Took the babies swimming for the first time
-Planned Charlotte & Cooper's future wedding :)
-Made Quiet Books for the babies (SO glad we finished in time!)
-Toured Lake Havasu (sp?) & saw THE London Bridge (it didn't fall-they just took it down & put it back up in the middle of no where Arizona!)
-Rode the Rhino around in the desert
-I may or may not have almost killed myself & Coop in the pool by stepping backwards & thinking the 1 inch drop off was really a 50 foot drop off... (maybe this shouldn't go under the fun list-but it sure was funny for some!)
-Drove down Route 66
-Listened to lots of music (Rach claims that Charlotte is the one that loves Justin Bieber...hehe)
-Rach & I did lots & lots of talking. Man I love that girl!
-Went to the park
-Rode over & saw the Hoover Dam
I'm sure I'm forgetting a million things
Now here are LOTS of pictures! (no particular order)
