Phoenix Travels: Part II

While in Phoenix, Kim and I (but mostly the experienced mother, Kim) helped Sarah begin her baby registry. We confused one clerk who was trying to figure out which one of us 3 pregnant women was trying to register. :) It was a joy to help Sarah and so fun to dream about them having a little one of their own.

Halfway through our registering, all 3 of us felt a bit worn out, so we relaxed in the store's rocker/gliders. What a funny sight we must have been!

It was such a privilege to have Mom and Dad join us for the family-time as well. We were pleased to be with Mom so close to her 60th birthday. We celebrated with gifts (including a collage of 60 words that we thought described her) and yummy chocolate souffles made by Chef Drew.

The four ladies took an opportunity for a night on the town to see a performance of Wicked. The acting, singing, and costuming was unbelievable. We all agreed that the show was absolutely wonderful!

On our last full day in Phoenix, we visited the MIM, a new Musical Instrument Museum. We all donned headphones to hear various instruments play from around the world. At the end of our tour we got to try out some instrument-playing for ourselves.

   

What fun it was to have Kim, Sarah, and me all together in various stages of pregnancy! Since all of us are officially showing now, we had to take a few comparative belly shots.

 Of course, the guys and new fathers-to-be didn't want to feel left out. :)

What a wonderful vacation! We so enjoyed seeing the Phoenix area, basking in the warm sunshine, learning more about Drew and Sarah's everyday life, and spending quality time with all of the family. Thanks for being such wonderful hosts, Drew and Sarah!
