Aran had a wild life conference in Scottsdale Arizona last week and we were allowed to come with him. After an 8 hour ride in the car, during which Lilja just did amazing... A beautiful hotel, great pool and some real relaxing r&r was awaiting us. I bought some floaties for Lilja, as she seems not afraid of the water and I wanted to feel a little more at ease with her around water. She picked them out... a ladybug... and LOVED them. What a difference from her in my arms to her floating away kicking her legs as if she was swimming.. Wow how fast it goes!!

| smiley girl in the pool... for HOURS!!! |
 |
| In the hot tub, and Aran's favorite spot. |
 |
| I love this picture and the next one too!! |
 |
| Aran's thoughts?? HEAVEN!! |
 |
| The first night we were invited to an native feast. the Hopi tribe showed us an eagle dance. Now, we have seen many tribal dances, but this one was one of my favorites.. lilja was even quiet ..so very powerful, intense and beautiful. |
 |
| During the dancing there were drummers and singers too. The feathers were from an eagle and Aran said the way it was made was very anatomically correct in eagle's eyes. |
 |
| Those big cacus were huge and impressive, called Sagueros |
 |
| Lilja and I went to a Train park where we could take a ride on a little train... |
 |
| go on a merry-go-round... |
 |
| Play in a very cool looking playground of all adobe houses.. |
 |
| and see the toy trains in action. |
 |
| I did have to be on the merry-go-round with her and we went twice.. The second time she did not want me to hold her.. All by myself, mom!! |
 |
and this was heaven on the last day.. a pinot on the table, cheese platter, and a daddy playing with Lilja..
My pre-mother's day second.. :) It was fun, not to worry about dogs, work or errands.. This truely felt like a vacation.. Thanks honey for taking us with you. |
