Pinetop: Better than Disneyland

We got away to our traditional Memorial Day spot in Pinetop, AZ this weekend. The kids have concluded that they like being in Pinetop at the cabin better than being at Disneyland! That says a lot!! We took a new way there and the views were gorgeous. We swam in the warm pools, even Claire although mommy forgot her swimsuit! We ate breakfast at Darbi's; We biked/walked around the lake and trails; Ate lots of smores, watermelon, burgers and bagels; Went to the carnival and made ourselves sick; Saw Kung Fu Panda 2; And ended the trip off at the family funplex on the go-carts (not for me or Ash). The best part was being together as a family, in the woods and the cool forest air. It's heavenly up there and only 3 hrs away.































On the way back down the kids were watching Tom and Jerry in the car. Tyler and I were dying over the things they would say when they looked out the windows every once in a while: jake (looking at the sand and cactus), "Wow! We've come down out of the woods!" Ash (as we pulled into a gas station), "Are we back in Arizona?!" Jake (seeing the freeway interchange near home) "Yes! We're back in America!" They are so funny.

Grateful for another family trip on the record books.
