Sometimes, simple is best.
After our whirlwind vacation last summer on a cruise with my inlaws (VERY FUN), we decided to chill out this summer at my parents’ place in north-eastern Arizona.
And chill we did.
I can’t remember a more relaxing vacation. We brought clothes, books, movies and - yes - a video game or two with us.
In the end, much of our time was spent outdoors. We went fishing, took naps on the porch hammock and ventured into the woods on “adventures,” as my son called them. We had a campfire and - for the first time - taught the kids how to roast marshmellows.
Basically, we reconnected as family, something that’s often missed during our rush of two working parents and two schoolage kiddos.
We didn’t even break out the video games until the last three days of our nine-day trip.
Here are a few shots of the kids. I thought I would share, if only to have them available to remind myself how nice “simple” can be.
