We were so thrilled when my sister Heidi and her daughter Tia came down for spring break to celebrate with us. We have been looking forward to their visit and had our week planned out from the beginning. Unfortunately, McCrea and I were sick and miserable. I felt so bad because I had been looking forward to their visit for sometime now. Anyway we still had a great time, although some days I had to stay home, while they went out and had fun without me.
Sisters are the Best!
Heidi and Tia come to visit!
We started our spring break with a trip to Desert Breeze Park. We rode a cute little train around the park, rode the carousel and played on the playground. Lorelei and Tia are just a few years apart but were like two peas in a pod. They were so excited to be together and were glued at the hip, ready to play.
Monday the 16th we went to the Phoenix Zoo, we enjoyed all the animals, the petting zoo, the playgrounds, the splash park and Sting Ray Bay where they got to pet the Sting Rays. It was a great day. That night Heidi and I went and got pedicures and had a little girls night out.
Tuesday the 17th was St. Patricks Day! We all dressed up in green and looked like clowns but we had fun doing it. We took the girls to Freestone Rec Center and spent hours climbing the large rock climbing wall. This was Lorelei's first real rock climbing experience. She loved it and they spent hours there. After they were worn out they went to the dollar flicks and watched two movies, "The Tale of Despereaux and Bolt."
Paddy's Day fun!
I don't want to get pinched today!Wednesday the 18th the spent the day at Hamilton Pool where they swam for over 4 hours, went down water slides, vortex pool and lazy river. They had tea parties underwater and jumped off the diving board. Unfortunately they were a little burned. After 4 hours of swimming they went back to the rock climbing wall to climb some more. It makes me exhausted just thinking about it all.
Thursday the 19th we went to Arizona's only amusement park. It only has about 10 rides total. It's totally ghetto, but the girls still loved it. We went on ride after ride and even played some miniature golf at the end. It was a lot of fun.

We thought this sign was hilarious!
I have a big head!Friday the 20th Heidi and I did a little shopping, the girls played at the park and we went to Makuto's Island. It is a huge tree house, with ropes, slides, a huge indoor playground. They spent a few hours climbing around and having fun. We then rented some movies and had a movie night.

Such a cute sister and niece!
Best Cousins!

Saturday the 21st, we went out to breakfast at T.C. Eggington's and they did a quick hike up to the Hole in the Rock. We then said our good-byes at the airport and our fun week of spring break was officially over. It was sad to see them go. I just love my sister and niece. We had a great time despite my sickness.
Hole in the Rock!
