Labor Day Weekend in Gilbert

We spent Labor Day weekend in Gilbert with Mary. 

Jamming out with Elliot providing accompaniment 

"Water Party" with the Olaf tea set

Tackle ring-around-the-rosy was a big hit

Elliot & Benjamin at the park

Eli got to eat his first solids!

Reviews were mixed.

 The highlight of the trip was taking the kids to the Arizona History Museum in Mesa! Elliot roared back at the dinosaurs pretty much the whole time we were there. 

We couldn't get him to tear his eyes off of the animatronic dinosaurs long enough to take a picture

They had lots of great kids activities scattered throughout, including this cool dinosaur slide. There was also a gold panning station outside in the courtyard that caused many tears when we had to leave due to the museum closing.

On Sunday, we got to go to a Mid-Singles break the fast with Mary. We briefly considered adopting aliases (I would be a hard working and tenderhearted single mom with a troubled past, Aaron a party boy bachelor), but didn't go through with it. I think our wedding rings gave us away, but they didn't kick us out. It was fun meeting Mary's new friends, and one even came over to kick our butts at Carcassone later that night. 

Aaron and I were able to go to the temple during naptime on Saturday. We also hit up the pool multiple times, and I got an ego boost from playing connect 4 with Rebekah and Andrew.
