Staycation Day 2

Today was another beautiful day in the Valley of the Sun.  They High was 84 and it's still 80 degrees outside at 8pm.  Gotta love it!  I just don't know what I would do with snow.  I had a dream the other night that we moved somewhere and it snowed - A LOT and I panicked.  I didn't know what to do, how to drive in it, shovel it, walk in it.  Yes, I have lived a very snow sheltered life.  In fact I have only seen it actually snow once.  True Story!

Anyhoo.....back to our fun day.  Here is our itinerary and how it played out:

Tuesday
Val Vista Lakes Country Club
(my in-laws are members)

Taco Bell for lunch

Slushies during happy hour at Sonic for a treat

Playing with the endless friends in the 'hood till dinnertime

Gymnastics for Miss Amberly

Baked chicken, salad, corn on the cob and sourdough bread for dinner

Cassidy made her first batch of lemon bars - YUM!

 This place....it's my sanity away from the desert.  It looks like you are in a lush green oasis even though you are right in the middle of it.  The main pool is heated all year and is where we have the girls birthday parties (every other year).  The Lagoon as we like to call the beach area has a zero depth pool with sand, play equipment, fountains and you have the most gorgeous view of the waterfalls!

 Sand castle heaven!

 Yes, we can have a little beauty in vast-land ♥

 We had our wedding reception here and have been coming back ever since. 

Have I mentioned that I ♥ it?

I didn't take any pictures of the flowers but man are they amazing right now!

 The crew

Cass made lemon bars for dessert 

She is pretty proud of herself since this is one of her favorite treats.

We had to do something with all the lemons we have!

And they turned out perfect!
