RVA to PHX: Cousin Express

The RVA family took a looong-weekend trip to visit the Chandler clan, and we had an amazing time.


"Mama, are we on our way to Phoenix? On an AIRPLANE?"
She was soo excited to see cousin Elizabeth and baby Alex, and Auntie Krista and Uncle Patrick, and who could blame her?

We had a stellar time visiting, catching up, swimming in the pool, eating at gorgeous farm restaurants, grinning at how well the girls got along, and remarking on how adorable Alex is when he zooms around the kitchen with his shopping cart. Together, we were privy to the finest Costco samples ever known to man. The kids got chocolate bars and little silly toys, and all of us got Toothbrushes ( yes, I'm serious!), floss, and bleaching trays (just for the grown-ups) along with the usual assortment of food samples.

We took a nice walk along the Canal walk, and tried out a great neighborhood playground. Are you jealous of the double rocking plane?


The girls pretty much entertained each other.


And Alex entertained us.


We all got to read a lot of sleepytime stories together


We went to the zoo, where I failed to take any useful pictures of actual animals. But here's their swanky Cousin Express


And we got some great group shots
