Escape to Cactus Land
I went to visit my sister Jen who lives in Tucson, Arizona with her husband Mike and their baby (3-year-old) Tanner. We wish they still lived here!
It was my mom, three of my sisters and I - the ultimate girl getaway. Besides Jen having the most horrible cough ever, we had a pretty rockin' time. Some highlights:
- Right when we got to my sister's house, I walked in and Tanner said, "It's Kimmy! My Kimmy!" We were at dinner one night and he started making funny faces on his own. I captured this one on camera:
- Eating at In & Out Burger (confession: I love cheeseburgers! At least during this pregnancy I do! Does anyone share this love with me?)
- Laying out by the pool in beautiful weather
- Seeing a thick canopy of stars at night (confession #2: I am obsessed with stars. Yes, I frequent the Clark Planetarium on occasion.)
- Eating Haley's famous chocolate chip cookies. You should probably ask me for the recipe.
- Being the beneficiary of Jeni's closet clean-out
- Watching Penelope
- Running to catch our flight home - and being the last ones to board.
- Going to the Reid Park Zoo. I think I enjoy zoos more than little kids do! We fed the giraffes - they had long, grey tongues and they'd just stick them out at us, waiting for food. We also saw a crazy bird - watch the video and listen to the sound he makes!
Jen and fam will be moving to Utah for the Summer so she can have her baby here instead of sweating it out in 100+ degree weather. I'm excited to have my sister/prego partner closeby again!

a couple things: 1) i need that recipe :) chocolate chip cookies sound so good right now! 2) aren't giraffe's the coolest animals ever? i went to a petting zoo in north carolina, and the giraffe's were definitely a favorite. 3) you are adorable, and i'm so sad we aren't moving into your basement, but we should all hang out super soon!
i love cheeseburgers, too! if only i could figure out how to serve them for lunch bunch and have them not be gross.
microwaved burgers? yuck. :)
i looooove cheeseburgers. yes yes. and i too want that chocolate chip cookie recipe- you should post it up. Isn't going home the best? I'm so glad you had such a great time! (and that you share the same obsession with your nephew like i do with mine!)
Oh what a fun trip! Too bad you had a nasty hacker you had to take care of the whole time:) Oh well- at least we got to lay out. I can't wait to come up there!
