Pictures from Crawdad Fishing in Heber

It looks like fishing line under the Crawdad!
Seriously this is gross













Willow Springs Lake





We went to Willow Springs Lake and fished for Crawdad's. We caught 9 and Lloyd and Megan ate them for dinner. Here are the pictures from that day

My staycation is over! :(

I had an AWESOME staycation!
We started it off with Fireworks at Papago park watching them at Tempe Town Lake from the view at Hunt's tomb with my friend Dana and her family.
My daughter went to camp the first week I was off for 4 days and she had a blast and Lloyd and I had a little alone time that was nice.
We swam a lot and we went to Heber, Az for 2 days and enjoyed the weather and getting out of town. We were kept awake most of the night by the horrid smell of a skunk outside the open window all night, and the next day was awesome because it rained. I will write more about this trip when I post the pictures from it.
My daughter Megan and I went Sunsplash on Friday 7/16 and had a blast. She and I went down every single slide and some more than once.
I didn't care for a couple of them due to almost drowning, being scared half to death, and having some water wedgies. But I was one of the things I wanted to do most of my vacation.
Lloyd and I went tot movies once, and Megan and I went to a movie yesterday and saw Despicable Me.
I did everything I wanted to on my vacation so I have no complaints.
I got an awesome tan, got to spend a lot of time with my family, and got the sleep I so badly needed and got to have a break from work and I desperately needed that like you have no idea.
I even cleaned my daughters bedroom and that was an unbelievable disaster that was long overdue to be tackled, and now she has had the fear of God put into her not to let her room ever get that bad again.

So I will post some pictures from my awesome vacation soon!
I am not too thrilled to be back at work because it was very hectic today and almost felt like I never left at all. Some things NEVER change.
I am grateful to be employed though, because I know very personally how bad the job market is and would not want to be unemployed right now and I am for sure happy to have a job for sure.

Staycation!

Well as of 1pm tomorrow July 2nd, 2010 I am on vacation from work for 2 weeks and 1 day.
I do not return to work until July 20th. I am so happy. We are not going anywhere but I am just beyond thrilled that for 17 days I can sleep in and not go to work. The only days I am getting up early is Sunday's so I can go to church.
Other than that it is sleeping in and laying out by the pool. I want to go to a water park at least once. I want to go to the movies. I want to rent movies and stay up late and then sleep in the morning.
My daughter will be away at camp for 4 days and that will leave alone time for me and my hubby, and then the remainder of the time will be family time. The only bummers I see are 1, the heat, and 2, my daughter telling me she is bored. My daughter is bored at Disneyland.
I can't to take naps, sleep late, and come back with an awesome tan. It doesn't take much to make me happy, and naps and tanning will for sure do the trick.

So Staycation here I come!
