Arizona - Spring Break 2016

   We just got back from another spring break in Arizona.  I really don't think there is a better place to spend spring break.  I am probably a little biased since I grew up spending spring break in Arizona as well.    We are so lucky to go there almost every year and the kids have grown to love it as much as the rest of us.  This year, we got to spend an entire week down there and the weather was beautiful.  When we were there we missed a full on blizzard at home, so we were extra happy to be soaking up the sun!
    This year was also perfect because my dad, mom, brother, sister, niece, and nephew all spent the week with us.  Our family has a house down there and we had so much fun together.  We got to spend a lot of time with my grandma which is absolutely priceless.  We drove like we usually do and we did it in one day each way.  The kids all did so well in the car and I think we have trained them well for lots of family road trips in our future.
   We had so much fun and so many adventures, that I will need to break up our trip into several posts.  I will include pictures of the splash pad in this post.  There is a really nice outdoor mall near where my grandma lives.  It has a really nice splash pad that the kids really enjoyed playing at that is surrounded and shaded by gorgeous palm trees.  We actually went two different times.  Here are some pictures.
