Our trip to Mesa


I didn't get a lot of great pictures because I couldn't get Sienna's face because she was too busy looking at the fish. Last Thursday and Friday we went down to Mesa. We stayed at Garrett's parents condo and my parents and Lyndsey and her boyfriend stayed at the Buttes. The condo was kind of under construction because it got flooded and so there was only flooring in two rooms and the furniture was all over the place so we could only go in one bedroom and the adjoining bathroom. It wasn't too bad because we weren't there very much. Sienna did really good staying in the two rooms with carpet. The first day we were there we shopped and went to the Arizona Sea Life Aquarium in Arizona Mills Mall. It was pretty cool. Sienna liked seeing all of the fish.


This is Lyndsey and Cole in the part where the whole tunnel was glass and there were fish swimming all around us.

They had different places where you could stick your head in to look like you're in the tank with the fish.


Later that day Garrett, Sienna, Lyndsey, and Cole went swimming at their hotel. Me and my mom went shopping. We met up that night and had dinner. The next morning Garrett and my dad went golfing bright and early. Me and Sienna headed over to the Buttes and picked up my mom and Lyndsey and Cole and went to the Chandler mall. Me, Sienna, and my mom rode the little train on the bottom floor of the mall. She saw it and had to ride it. She really liked it. Garrett and my dad met up with us at the food court for lunch then I did some more shopping. My parents took Sienna on the train again. She was very spoiled by her grandma and grandpa while we were there with chocolate milk, candy, ice cream, cookies, and train rides. After that Garrett, me, and Sienna went back to my parents hotel and went swimming. Sienna got more and more used to the water as time went by. At first she was scared just to get in the pool with us holding her. Lyndsey, Cole, and my parents met us by the pool and we just had fun and relaxed. They had a water slide that was fun. Sienna was scared but went down with us a few times. Lyndsey, Cole, and Garrett went down a lot. Garrett and Cole were trying to find every way to go down to make it faster and more fun. The lifeguard was letting them go down head first. We stayed out at the pool for a long time. I think it was almost four hours. It was nice. Then we had to head home so we went to Jack in the Box and came home. We had a fun time. It's the closest thing to a vacation we're going to have for a while. Now Garrett's gone to Black River with his brothers, mom, and three nephews. We can't wait til he gets home tomorrow.
