The Madsen Clan

Yes - we are outside in a pool (mostly hot tub) BUT.... we just got back from a fun-filled week at Aunt Traci's house in Arizona. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you TRACI!!! It was so fun! The kids were ready to turn around and go back, even after the 8 hour trip home! We arrived late Tuesday night and visited. The next day the kids swam and swam. It was so nice! We went to dinner at a Chinese restaurant for Eric's birthday where Mays totally embarresed me by hurling everywhere. We then went home and Traci had bought him an ice cream cake from Cold Stone!! NUMMY! The next day was Thanksgiving and that is when everyone else in the house started hurling. But looking past all the vomit, it was a great day! Dinner was lovely, couldn't ask for a better host. We then, again, spent a few hours at the pool and hot tub that night. Traci, Macee and I decided to venture to the outlet malls that opened at midnight. Not a good idea. Tons of people, not great deals! The boys loved playing and walking Traci's dogs as you can see. We went to a very cool park where we road the "Anthem train" and the kids had several different playgrounds to choose from while Eric played football with the older boys. It was simply great! Everyone went golfing the next day (except for me and the two small boys!). We swam, we golfed, we shopped, we played, we talked... we had a great time!!! Thanks again Traci!!
