a full day...

so, after our super cool morning at the Stuffington Bear Factory (blogged about it yesterday ;), Uncle Steve and Aunt Dolores, and Cousin Bev took us to our favorite restaurant!

CHICK FIL A!!!
We love Chick fil A. I love everything about this restaurant chain. (course, we have only been to CFA a few times! LOL! - do you know how much it costs to feed our brood there (or any restaurant for that matter!)- yeah, I don't want to think about it either! hehehe!)
CFA is super family friendly (and they have really great kid's meal toys! ;)
I thought this basket on the counter said it all...
and the manager at the counter behind the cheerios asked me if I needed more since there must have been a rush on the cheerios (I was just taking a pic)! LOL!
Bev was getting the Chargrilled Chicken and Fruit salad so that is what I got too... LOVE!!!
Too bad Chick Fil A doesn't want to buy advertising space on the back of the toy hauler - they could pay in gift cards! ROFL!!! ;)

Anyway, the littles had a fab time playing on the neat, CLEAN, indoor playground...
~they disappeared into the playground (with a few bigs to watch them... tho I noticed that some of the pictures the 'bigs' took for me were from inside the play equipment - I'm sure they were just in there to take pics tho, right?!?)
After we adults sat around and talked for a few hours, we said our sad goodbyes... Bev flew out the next morning, and we will be pulling out in a couple of days so we won't get another chance to see Vaughn's Uncle and Aunt again this time through.


We got back 'home' to Larry and Carol's driveway about 3, did some chores around the house, and when it was still 70something at 4, we decided to ditch the hot camper and....

mosey on down the road to...
the other Aunt Carole's!!! Where the kids played and swam and ran and dived and dunked and splashed, and wore me out just watching them! :)


Caleb and I sat on the edge and were content to be spectators...
While Aunt Carole hauled Molly, who just a few months ago hated water so much she wouldn't want to take baths, all over the pool teaching her to swim. Molly loves to go 'Wimming'! All this time we have just needed a pool. At each rv park with a pool, and now here, she has been slowly learning just how much fun the water can be!

The other kids are all crazy about the water, and 2 hours later, after the sun had set and the temps were dropping, and Calebs dry little hands were getting chilly, I finally booted my fish out of the water.
Caleb and I were tuckered out.
It was a very full, but very fun day.


While we truly love visiting our Arizona family, and we have had a wonderful month here in Phx, we are starting to get itchy feet! It's time to finish up those projects and hit the road again!!!

  1. We love Chick fil a as well. I read Truitt Cathy's book a few years ago, and it made me love his resturant even more....a great read. I was reading on a homeschooling mom's blog that went to a CFA. SHe said they are willing to give you a "behind the scenes" tour of the kitchen.....for families and groups. I have yet to try it, but thought I would pass on the info. If y'all are close to one again maybe you can tour one as well.
    Loved the pics of whimming, lol. We have not been anywhere warm enough for that, but ready for it.
    Happy Travels!!!

  2. We LOVE Chick-Fil-A as well. I think we're seeing a theme here! :) We like to go on cold days and let our littles get their wiggles out in their indoor playground. LOVE that they are always clean!

    Little Caleb is just a doll! Congratulations!!

    I am so wishing we were in warmer temps!! Safe travels!
