Nana and Mia time!

May Fun

Windy day!

High heeled lady got Scout some water.  She was "super thirsty."

Christine's 21st Birthday

OK, OK, so it was her 40th birthday, not her 21st but I am telling you ... we ACTED like we were 21.  Ouch.

While the cat is away ...

... the mice ate out for every meal!

Playing catch in the backyard ...

Dogsitting for Dory!

Memorial Day Parade

These two inherited the least X-rated bachelorette party decorations!

Bachelorette FUN!

The notorious b-i-d-g-a is getting MARRIED!  Carrie, Alissa, and I have been friends since we were about 2.  Joellyn joined the club in 2nd grade (I was SO jealous that her costume had the fringe on their waists and mine had it on the chest), and Noor was her freshman year college roommate.  Since we all live all over (Boston, Denver, Dallas, Seattle), we decided to all travel for some bachelorette fun to the BOULDERS SPA IN PHOENIX!  It. Was. Amaze-balls.

Sangria by the pool? YES PLEASE

Tour guide Joellyn outdid herself. We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa with a kitchen etc. on the property and took many a shuttle bus ride to and from the spa!

We like cacti.

Yeah, that's a boar.

We ARE the cactus, see?  Kind of?

Yes, yes, Alissa traveled with a penis cake tin in her luggage.

There were four of us giving gifts. What are the odds that two of us would give her the EXACT SAME LINGERIE? Not similar, not different colors -- the EXACT SAME. 

Jo wasn't happy with the hike. I don't remember why but this picture cracks me up.

Perfecting our cactus pose.

Alissa's snack bag slash wallet.

THAT IS A BOBCAT IN OUR DRIVEWAY.

We are for spa.

Bachelorette weekend = water via penis straws.

Hot Air Balloon

The highlight of the trip for me (other than the spa-tastic spa, the copious amounts of exercise (and mimosas), and the PERFECT weather -- oh, and the fabulous company), was the sunrise hot air balloon ride!  SO FUN!

So we had to "chase the wind" and ended up missing the sunrise.  Well, we saw it ... from the van.

Filling the balloon!

Pre-boarded and ready to fly!

So calm and so ... calm.

The trip ended with breakfast and mimosas!
