Summer Vacation - two weeks in Tucson

 Clara looking cool at the beginning of our LONG drive from Spanish Fork to Tucson


Clara coloring on her legs at the end of our LONG drive....sometimes a mommy just lets her do what makes her happy


Like give her Laffy Taffy


And glow sticks


A beautiful sunset as we drive in to Tucson



Papa reading the Chaldean Star to my kids...a book he read to me when I was little.  I think Kate would have stuck with it but Sawyer was a little antsy so they switched to Where's Waldo.  


Epic at the cheap theater.  This girl LOVES movie nights at home and she was loving it at the theater too




Culver's custard



Grammie and Papa have a little basketball court in their yard that the kids spent hours playing on.  One of Kate and Sawyer's favorite things to do was draw out a big city map.  Kate drew herself a nice Target.  Her house was right across the street from it.



They called it Sawkaterton


Our first, hot trip to the zoo



Feeding the giraffes







The elephants were swimming because even they thought it was just too hot!



After the zoo we ate lunch at our favorite place



More fun in the backyard after running through the sprinkler.  



An extra cute streaker







Dinner on the back porch


Grammie has this little house that Clara thought was the perfect size for her and she was always trying to climb into it.  She even got stuck a few times and had to yell for help...but it didn't stop her from trying again!








I couldn't resist these cute matching dresses just in case this next baby is a girl!  (Don't worry, they were way cheap!)


Kate got a hair cut...She went from way too long to just long


More eating outside...and Sawyer with crazy eyes




Picking peaches...they were so yummy!












I had a craving for some traditional Townsend food.  Usually its for Thanksgiving or New Year's Eve but a Saturday in July worked too.  


My first Sonoran hot dog


Swimming at my kid's favorite pool ever!  They LOVED the diving board!










Peter Piper Pizza....like Chuck E Cheese only every game ISN'T a quarter and they have a roller coaster and merry-go-round






























Clara watching TV with Papa after the other kids were in bed



Our crazy attempt at a cousin picture!  



Corn on the cob with pretty nails


The kids loved having glow sticks in the dark outside on 2 of the nights



Monsters University with yummy snacks!


 Zoo trip #2
















 Visiting Papa at work



Le Salsa!  OH MY


And one last MONSOON!!


My sisters and I took the kids to fro-yo one night while the others were napping


One last sunset before we headed home


Getting ready to board the airplane!


Hooray!  She naps!  




 It was such a great vacation in Tucson!  Although it was crazy my sisters and all our 8 kids staying in the same house, my kids had the most amazing time with their cousins and I loved getting to hang out with my mom, dad and sisters.  Always a good time!
