“I’d rather be in Arizona”

Patrick has a shirt that he wears occasionally that says, “I’d rather be in Arizona” I believe that it was his Grandpa Nelsons Shirt, and every time he wore it, I use to think what is so great in Arizona, that you would rather be there?!?!
But now I know, and understand.
A few weekends ago was the Nelson Family Reunion, at Mama’s Ranch right outside Flagstaff, Arizona.
We had a fabulous time there, as well as driving there and back (The boys swam at both hotels, I think next time we go on vacation, we will go on vacation to the pool. This is something they enjoy immensely.).
It was a fun vacation, we enjoyed getting to know the Nelsons better, as well as spending more time together as a family…
Here are a few shots.

The Nelsons have some great Frisbee players, they played a few games of Ultimate while we were there. Here is a not good pic of Toph playing frisbee:

There was also a Petting Zoo, Toph took the boys with his Cousin Dean and his daughter Emma:

Now these animals were hungry, and not afraid of humans…. As you will see…
