Swimming the Day Away

Left to right: Jubilee, Isaiah, Elijah, Liberty, Emma, Graham, Daddy & Elizabeth..

The place we are staying at has a water park attached….which since we are staying here is included {another off-season perk!}…the water park has several pools, a lazy river raft ride, giant slide, lap pool, wading pool and even miniature golf….so very refreshing……and the weather has been perfect!!

116 today ….and we are finally starting to thaw out….



I am continually amazed at the bravery of our Jubilee.
Everything is so new to her…but she plugs right in and gets to it…..
we are so proud of her courage….


A rare photo of Graham….he hates when I want to take his picture…he says he doesn’t mind when I take a picture if he is with others in the picture {not sure the reasoning with that, but he’s a teenager…so maybe it’s got to do with that, I guess we’ll cut home some slack}…



We are lovin’ our summer fun…But you probably knew that, right?

The smiles are kind of a giveaway, huh?

  1. How fun for you and your family!
    I remember when we flew back to PA years ago (2002?). Long day of flying and when we got to the hotel, a Best Western, mind you, the pool was closed. They opened the pool and the kids, late teens were allowed in the pool since dad was with them. That was so nice. Gotta love those memories. Love all the smiles. ENJOY your time together and your vacation.
    God's blessings.

  2. I was going to leave you a comment yesterday and welcome you to Phoenix! Then today I get on and see you are at the resort my husband & I are going to stay at tonight. We are going to have our first ever overnight get away and then come back in the am to get our kiddos so we can play at the waterpark all day. So if I see you can I say hi! I feel like you are a celebrity!!!!

  3. Those pool lounge chairs sure do look comfy. Pardon me while I close my eyes and imagine that I'm relaxing in one with a great read and a glass of fresh-squeezed lemonade in hand. 🙂 Glad to see you guys are having a fantastic time!

    116 degree weather? Wow! Now, that's hot! I'm happy someone's enjoying this Summer heat. I, on the other hand, am already counting the days until Autumn and Winter. 🙂

    Oh yeah, I'm quite proud of Miss Jubilee, too! I thank God for allowing her to be a part of your family. The smile on her face says it all…she's happy and thankful, too.

    Many blessings from the scorching South. 😉

  4. So glad you all are enjoying your summer fun in the sun and water. I remember going to water parks when I was a little girl and remember the lazy tube thing being great as well as choosing which smaller slide to go down on my own, no fear, just fun! Those things were fun for me. *smile* So glad the family is having a lovely time! Sincerely, Mommy of two little blessings & so much more!

  5. I think it's too cool to see your awesome family enjoying themselves in such an AWESOME PLACE! Enjoy every moment… seeing your kiddos with such big smiles warms my heart. I've been praying for you guys. God bless you in your R&R and family time. lv, jen

  6. So glad you guys are having so much fun! I guess if I went somewhere where it was 116, I would be swimming the whole time too!!! Jubilee looks darling in that photo!!!

    We are trying to find somewhere inexpensive for two nights in two weeks. Somewhere to go as a family together before school starts. Phoenix is just a little too far for us!

  7. Linny, can you share with us the name of the place you're staying at? just incase we need a future reference?? Looks like SOOOO much fun!

  8. Looks like a lot of fun and very refreshing. They are calling for a heat index of 105 here today. I think we need to scrap the housework and head to the pool!

    Also, how did you get them all to sit still long enough for the first photo? I have 5 kiddos and we are still struggling to get all of them in a picture with everyone at least looking forget smiling!

    Hugs,
    Robin

  9. I know where this is! We lived in Phoenix until the Lord moved us to Florida last year! Love the AWESOME summer deals at all the hotels!! So glad you all had a great time!
