Day 3

We started our day early but it was just to relax at the pool.  We had a great time playing in the water and we were the only ones there.

Then we headed to the Commemorative Air Force Museum.  Last month we went to watch the Air  Show in Mesquite and the kids loved it.  So we thought they would enjoy seeing similar planes up close.  Here are some of the cool things we saw...

We left there and headed towards Phoenix.  Since it's the state capital, I decided that we needed to go see it.  We have to mix some learning in there with all the fun.  Unlike Texas where there are signs telling you where to find the capital, no such luck in Arizona.  Finally.....

The kids enjoyed looking at the state's symbols.  Carson wasn't too sure if the cactus was real or not and if he really wanted to touch it.

We also visited the  House Assemly Room from the early 1900's.  Notice that they are sitting up on the platform and not out on the floor.

Carson was listening to someone tell their story, but he was getting frustrated becuse she wouldn't answer him when he was talking to her.

LUNCH TIME:  We always to try eat at local places.  We just happened to get a book about the area that told about a pizza place that was on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.  We love that show, so that was the place we had to find.

Their specialty is pizza cooked in a brick oven, so that is what we ordered and it was AWESOME!!

Since this was the temperature after lunch....an inside activity was in order.

So we deciede on a movie.  The family, friendly choice was.....

It was a very good movie. Even Carson sat still during the entire movie.

Now its's dinner time and an early bed time is in order.  We have about 5 hours to drive tomorrow and I think we are all super exicted about the next few days of fun.
