AAO

Instead of attending the American Association of Orthodontics meeting in Boston, we decided to attend the Americans in Arizona Organization or the Addi in Arizona Organization or whatever the conference was last weekend. And this meeting was no snoozer--much better than all those CE courses. Activities included:

1. A father-son campout, where Max loved playing with his cousins and the flashlights. He even fell asleep on the ride home holding the flashlight.

2. Celebrating National PKU Awareness Month with our favorite PKUer at Golfland. Max was in heaven with the water and his cousins, and Jack was in heaven away from the water with his ball or by the alligator. Ashley, however, was not in heaven when the workers refused to let her have potato chips and showed her where the PKU snacks were. :) Thanks for having PKU, Ashley!

3. Some quality cousin time. Jack only left Nanny's house to go to Golfland and other than that, the cousins came to him. He had so much fun being a nice sharer (ha!) with his cousins that he slept so good at naptime and bedtime. We also got to go see the new mother of 4 in action. Baby Henry is so, so sweet, and Max LOVED that backyard of theirs.

4. Quality Nanny and Grandpa time. Nanny played with the boys and read them books and Grandpa made sure to give Max an extra long golf cart ride. While we were there, Max was feeling a little under the weather and enjoyed all the different places in Nanny's house to fall asleep. And Jack REALLY liked playing outside with the water hose!
5. Then, of course, we had to stop and say hi to some of our friends on our way home from the conference. Yay for Arizona!

addi, you need to make a special book (or have aunt dawna) just with the pictures you took of jack playing in the hose that morning--they're all as precious as this one and they need to be SEEN!
