Five Stars

This is what I did today, all day:
The whole reason we ended up in Arizona is because Ryan had a business thing in Scottsdale at this amazing 5 star hotel. I didn't get to go with him because they told him they were assigning him a roommate, but when he got there his roommate never came. So last night, on his last night there I got to go stay with him at the hotel. It was so gorgeous there, and we had a blast.
Then, this morning, Beth and the girls met me over at the hotel and we went swimming in yet another awesome pool, all day long. There was a giant water slide, and tons of areas for the kids to play in. Gracie was busy the whole day playing with all these new friends she made at the pool.

When it was time to go home for the day 6 hours after we got there, this little girl's mom told her daughter to go tell her new friend goodbye. she ran up to Gracie and gave her to sweetest little hug. It was so tender, I love little kids.
I couldn't resist posting another one of Paige's "funny faces".

After we swam at the five star pool, we came home and swam at the Warner star pool, like we hadn't swam enough today. Ryan was cracking Gracie up jumping into the pool and doing cannon balls.

It is an amazing hotel. I was there a year an a half ago.

A word of advice: don't try to swim in that big waterfall fountain. The staff won't find it very funny.

SUCH cute pictures! Looks like an amazing hotel, sorry I missed that pool. I got a good laugh out of Ryan and Gracie jumping into the pool at the same time, but now I'm going to have to go back there and do my job..... wash Beth's windows!

For a minute there I thought you were going to say you took pictures of your feet all day, a la Beth's anniversary post. Some cute li'l stickers might look super sexy on those 5-star toes :)

All you need is some Rita's by the pool...

AH, I would much rather spend the day at the pool than carry my own weight into the woods. So jealous! I'm thinking all this time by the pool you are probably tanner than me!

Rita's would have been the best on a hot Arizona day by the pool.

I am pretty sure that I am still whiter than everyone!

I can't wait to go to Arizona and lay out by the pool! Your toe pictures are pretty funny! Every post comes with toes pictures! When do you get home???

Oops the Mom comment - that was from Beth's mom, not Maggie. Sorry.

SO CUTE. I wish I could be there with you and Beth and Beth's kids! (Do you think she would let me be, like, a God-Aunt, not related? I think I like her kids better than my neices and nephew.)

Glad you got to take a relaxing break and stay in a swanky hotel, too!
