Spring Break in AZ

The best part about being a forever long student is the breaks that regular grown ups don't get. Last week was Ryan's Spring Break so we loaded up the car and set out to visit my sister and her family in Phoenix. My dad even came out from San Diego to hang out with us for a few days. We went to the zoo, the boys went golfing (twice), we got to go to the temple together (thanks to my dad for babysitting the kids!), the guys went to a Phoenix Suns game, and Linds and I even got to sneak away to the spa one morning. It was a week long of FUN!
Ella loves a good roadtrip...
As you can see, Ella was a little excited to be with her cousins.
Carson was taking a spin on his bike and he got a little hungry so he grabbed the "travel size" box of pita chips...
The next day we went to the zoo. They had a little petting zoo that Ella couldn't get enough of. She had to introduce herself to each and every goat.
She even went in the "Goats Only" section to meet more.
I think this picture is funny cuz it looks like those are her droppings...
Ella is a sucker for a Merry-go-Round.
On the morning of St. Patrick's Day, my sister made a special breakfast for the kids.
Ella was a little hesitant about the green eggs.
We took the kids to the neighborhood pool one evening. The pool wasn't heated yet...but that didn't stop these three from having fun.

Texas Roadhouse. Yum...
Carson digging into some dessert.
Ryan and Mike took the kids on a little train ride.
Thanks Banner family for a fun Spring Break. Way better than Cancun!
