365.5: WEEK TWENTY SIX

 JUNE 27th - JULY 3rd

One-on-one with the second youngest at the Arizona Science Center. First day of tumble camp. Eye appointments (and getting fitted for contacts!) for the oldest and youngest. Glow stick pool party with some incredibly awesome friends.

MOTHER'S DAY GIFTS: THE YOUNGEST

For our one-on-one, the youngest opted for a trip to the Idea Museum. What neither of us realized (as it has been several years since we were last there) was that the museum was completely geared for kids who are younger than my last. So I quickly came up with a plan to visit Butterfly Wonderland the following day. The Idea Museum was such a let down, but Butterfly Wonderland more than made up for it. So many big, beautiful butterflies (and koi fish and a… chicken?). Definitely glad that we made the decision to try our luck on another adventure.

365.5: WEEK TWENTY FIVE

JUNE 20th - JUNE 26th

Oldest two on their way to our ward’s super activity (so down to 4 kids for four days). Quick trip to the Idea Museum (more on that botched one-on-one later). Wonders at Butterfly Wonderland. Dinner with the younger four at Picazzo’s. Paddling the Salt on a Saturday morning. 

MOTHER'S DAY GIFTS: THE THIRD

For his one-on-one, my third oldest decided to visit the Desert Botanical Gardens. Not only is he fascinated by plants, but he also has an eye for spotting desert animals. Bonus: we went on the last evening of the Chihuly glass exhibit. And even though it was a touch warm, we still braved the weather and had a pleasant evening in the gardens. It was awesome.
