Havasu Trip

What a whirlwind life has been the past 10 or so days!  While we have been having lots and lots of fun, things such as laundry, cleaning, and especially the blog have fallen by the wayside!  I finally have a few minutes to myself while the baby sleeps, so I am taking advantage of the chance to sit still and enjoy the quiet!

It was a bit of a different Havasu trip for us this time, as to be expected, with bringing a baby along.  With such a precious little thing, we had to be more mindful of the heat, the sun exposure, and the like as she is still little!  But all that being said, we had a great time, and it was nice that the "big" kids could do some fun things while one parent stayed back with Olivia.
 
One afternoon the kids watched a movie on the bed.  Olivia started out sitting by me by the head of the bed, and it wasn't long before she had wiggled her way down the bed to be just like the older kids!
 
Shane man getting ready to go for a swim!
 
Both Faith and Shane had a lot of fun swimming with Steve, and of course having him throw them in the air!  The three of them also went to see a movie one afternoon, which was fun too!
 
Mr. Bubble!!  Shane enjoyed a bath to himself on the final evening of the trip.  We had a first on this trip...a first trip to the urgent care center!  Both girls developed fevers, and Faith had been complaining of ear pain, similar to what she experienced last fall, which ended up being swimmer's ear.  So, we took both girls in and were given some antibiotics for each of them for ear infections.  Given how many times we travel to Lake Havasu, this wont be our last trip to urgent care, and now we know exactly where it is!  Thankfully, both girls recovered quickly and are doing well!
 
The sunrise on the final morning.  After a sleepless night for Faith and I (her medicine had not yet begun to work it's magic!!), at least we were able to see a beautiful sunrise!
 
More posts to come as to what we have been up to post-vacation!
