Playing with Papa!

My mom is in South Carolina with Sarah, who is having baby boy # 3!  Yay!  Since she'll be there awhile we wanted to surprise my dad and have him come out and play with his Arizona grandkids!  Shavonne had a "free" flight earned, so it was PERFECT.  Greg and her purchased the flight and then we got to call him on conference (my family's favorite) and tell him what time he had to be to the airport...because he was coming out for a visit!!! 

It was awesome, he was pretty excited!  Shavonne and Greg are the best!  It's still perfect weather, low to mid 80's during the day, so definitely warm enough to hop in some water...but not quite swimming pool status, yet.  Shavonne and my dad took a little trip and picked up one of these beauties...it actually held all seven of them!  Crazy!

Behind the scenes...what you wouldn't know from looking at this picture is, my dad hooked the hose to fill this pool up, directly to the water heater!  He made sure all the kids were out and far away first, then he filled it up half way with hot water, then the rest with some buckets of cold from the tap!  Why didn't we think of that????  The kids LOVED it!   Of course while pouring in the buckets of cold water...it wouldn't be my dad unless he poured it on everyone!
