Memorial Day Weekend

We were so happy to find out that Brayden had Memorial Day off from work as he had assumed he didn't. We fit in everything we could in the short 3 day weekend and it was a blast!

On Friday he came home a little early and we headed up to Horsethief Basin to camp. It really isn't too far away, but the rough dirt road to get there makes it about 2.5 hours. We got up there early evening, set up camp, explored with Amelia, made tin foil dinners, cooked some peach cobbler in the dutch oven while Kirsten and her family made s'mores, found out our air mattress had another hole eek!, and then sat around the fire. Amelia was exhausted and slept like a rock while Brayden and I found ourselves laying on the ground after 2 hours of the air mattress staying pumped up haha. I ended up grabbing all the beach towels from the car and stacking them up under my hips and Brayden stuffed part of his sleeping bag under himself. We eventually fell back to sleep and made it the rest of the night. Whoo hoo! We will always bring one of our back up air mattresses from here on out! Lesson learned. 

In the morning, we built another fire, ate some breakfast, packed up camp and headed to Horsethief Lake. It wasn't really big, so we brought an inflatable boat and Mark had borrowed a small aluminum boat for fishing. We spent about 5 hours there walking around the lake, fishing, eating lunch, sleeping (Amelia that is), playing in the water, feeding the ducklings, and hanging out. It was a great place to park for the day. We headed out after that and got home in time for dinner and the basketball game.

Amelia loved her new pink chair. She sat down and said "picture?"

Ohh yeah, she found the good stuff!

Bedhead

I love seeing her cousin Trey playing with her because I was just a little bit younger playing with him when he was that age!

The inflatable boat worked pretty well and doubled as a great napping place for Amelia on land!

Catching Bass

On Monday we got up and went for a short hike right by the house here and then ran some errands. After that we headed downtown to the Diamondbacks game. It was... well... not the best game to attend as they lost 8-2, but Amelia had fun cheering and eating fries. She is obsessed with fries for those of you who aren't around her much. Fries, cheese, hot dogs, chicken and cucumbers are always the go to foods. We ran some more errands after the game, including getting a back up air mattress with the memorial day sales ha! Then we finished off the weekend by eating at Mellow Mushroom and watching the Warriors win the series Yay!

This morning we had a 3D ultrasound for the little guy and Amelia watched the screen the whole time saying, "Baby brother, cute!" and "so funny." We didn't get a 3D with her, so it was fun to see him in there! I think Amelia thought it was pretty cool too. We are now at 30 weeks! Only 9 short weeks until we meet this baby! 

Amelia also started swim lessons today and did a great job. She loves being in the water. She loves it so much that when the lessons were over she threw a 45 minute fit haha. She is so smart. When she woke up from her nap she said, "Hi Mom. I crying. I sorry." During lunch I told her she had to apologize if she wanted to go back to lessons tomorrow.  So, we get to go back tomorrow. Wish us luck!
