In May Charly and Thomas went on a daddy-daughter date to School House rocks, followed by a trip to Bass Pro Shop( Charly's idea according to Thomas), and a stop at Tempe town lake!
Then it was Rachel's birthday party at Skateland so since they were on the east side they hung around to go to the party. Charly had never been skating but really enjoyed it, They had to rent a walker for her.....I had never seen this! Needless to say they had a great day!
In the middle of the month we traveled to Utah! We had been planning the trip for a while and were very excited to see family. The Michael Stucki family moved to Utah last fall, they had visited Arizona once during this time but we didn't get to see Michael, so Thomas was super excited to see his brother. On a side note, I love that Thomas loves his family, he isn't very vocal about a lot of things, but he really loved his family, and that is so awesome! Any way, we were also planning a trip because Alex and Emily were moving from Washington to Tennessee. Alex has been stationed in Kentucky but its super close so they actually like on the Tenn. side. So we drove to Utah(that was a a bummer), but we were able to stay with the Stucki family! We got to hang out with Emily and Alex, during the day we just hung out at the Stucki home, and later in the evening once Michael got off work we went to Boondocks. We bowled, and rode bumper style cars, to race. There was once ride where it looks like an inter tube but motorized, Charly and Paityn could drive themselves, but Charly wanted to ride with someone, and the larger person had to drive so Emily drove her tube, and Paityn drove her own tube, It squirted water out of front,, at other tubes. It was super funny before the game started Michael was yelling for the ladythat his wasn't squirting, to which she informed him that it wouldn't until she pushed the button and she just made that announcement. Then Alex's squirter quit squirting and got stuck so got hammered with water and was getting annoyed. Paityn was doing OK most the time but occasionally she would wander off from the group or quip in circles, which was comical. At the end you have to drive yourself back to the edge and get hooked up but Paityn wasn't quite sure how to do that, so the people in charge kept saying come to the edge, come to the edge. IT was funny. After that we went inside and played in the kids area and video games. The adults went to laser tag minus myself, I stayed with the littles. Poor Briley had an accident at the top of the jungle gym and would not come down so I had to climb to the top and get her, its always funny when adults have to go up there because the areas are so small its awkward.So I got Briley down and we went to the restroom, which Hunter was positive he needed to go in the mens restroom but after some coercing he agreed to go with the rest of us. We used the restroom and decided to get a drink while we waited for the rest of the people. Which was only a few minutes later. It was really fun experience to be with family and just have fun together!
May was eventful for Charly Anne, she also graduated kindergarten! In the weeks leading up to it they practices their program she was very excited about playing a cheerleader part in the program! It was a very cute program and exciting to see her get to perform and get her diploma.
