Phoenix with the Fates

In May, Jon-Paul had a business conference to attend in Phoenix. It fell right about Memorial Day weekend, so we just stretched his trip into a long weekend to visit with our friends, the Fate family--Patrick, Keri and Makenzie. Makenzie is their little girl who is 1 year older than Justin. The weather was great for our trip out and we had several days at the pool. Their housing complex has a great pool area with a beach front pool and a splash pad alongside. The kids had a great time!

About 10 minutes from their house is a great park with a full carousel, playground and mid-sized train! So we took the kids for a visit and they had a great time.

Pals!

Ready for our ride on the train! (Yes, it's a smaller sized train, so you can't really see that we are sitting in a train at the moment.)

Patrick managed to get a pretty good shot of Justin and Jon-Paul on the carousel.
