Summer is coming to an end : (

 Summer is coming to an end soon and we have been trying to enjoy it as much as possible and get prepared for back to school season at the same time. We recently discovered at Gianni's check up that the child needs glasses. He wears them everywhere and even has asked to sleep in them!

The kids began swim lessons last week. These are pictures from the first day. Carmen did so well that they bumped her up to Gianni's level so now they are in the same class together. Side breathing, arms, and legs at the same time has been a struggle for her but she is doing very well with the big kids. 


  
 This past weekend we packed our swimming suits...and pj's and headed to Arizona Grand Resort. They have a water park with slides, wave pool, lazy river and much more but it is for guests only. So we decided to do a little staycation! So we have had no rain in Arizona and of course...gloomy all weekend with on and off storms, but it was actually nice because it wasn't too hot! The kids had so much fun and we were wet all weekend long. 






 The best part about the resort is how family friendly it is, especially in the evening. When 6pm hits, they have a DJ that does a family dance party with kid friendly music. Carmen was brave enough to get up there but brother stayed in the water and played water volleyball for hours.

The resort is so pretty at night!





 Swimming at night is the coolest!



  At 8pm they do a movie in the pool. You float in your tube or just wrap up in a towel and lay on a chair as you watch the movie under the stars. The kids loved it!
 Lastly, we have 6 new additions to report into our family. 
 Above is Spots
 Above are "Stripes" and there are four of them. We can't tell them apart so we call them all Stripes.
 Gianni allowed Carmen to name this pretty orange one and his name is Van. These 6 fish joined Yellow, Smooth, and Tiny on Sunday night. Our three glowfish we very pleased to make new friends. Gianni does a great job of taking care of them and cleaning the tank.
