Vacay Pt 2: Gilbert

Monday morning we woke up once again bright and early and headed off to Gilbert, AZ to spend a fantastic week with Holly, Chase, and Emery.

Tuesday we went to the Children's Museum, which was basically like the Discovery Gateway here. Emery was still a little young for most of it but we had fun anyway. His favorite part was the grocery store and he never got sick of pulling things off the shelf and putting them back.
On Wednesday, Richard and Chase went to a Diamondbacks game so we had a girls night. Holly painted all of our toenails and Kaylee looked super cute with her tiny painted toes. Emery must have felt left out because he decided to eat some nail polish instead of wearing it. He discovered very quickly that eating it was not the best idea! Poor kid :( We also ate some ice cream and watched the Last Song. What more could you ask for on girl's night?Thurs we mostly just played around the house but also went to Chase's softball game that night. Even though the sun was down it was still SO hot and we were all dripping with sweat just sitting and watching. It's amazing how hot it is all the time!

Friday we left Kaylee with Hol and decided to go on a short hike. Her neighbor recommended one on Silly Mtn (yes, that is what it's really called!) and so we set off thinking it would be the easiest hike ever with a name like that. But between the heat and the unexpected steepness of the mountain, we were both dying by the time we got to the top. I love hiking though so it was worth it! Then we took Kaylee swimming for her first time. I was very surprised that she LOVED it and it was the perfect way to end our fun week. Thanks Holly, Chase, and Ems! We miss you already!!
