Vacation in the Desert

Our family was lucky enough to go on vacation in the wonderful state of Arizona.  We rented a home  out in Peoria and we had a blast.  This was our first major family vacation with all of us there.  My sister Tara and her lovely family joined us and we enjoyed ourselves from sun up to sun down.
Aside from the gorgeous pool and hot tub in our back yard, we stayed in a lovely, spacious rental property owned by some fellow Canadians.  We had our fill of shopping and did some local touristy things too.  We spent a day at the Safari out north of Peoria and also took in the Aquarium at the Arizona Mall.  All in all we had a great time.  Here are a few pictures I was able to take.

We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely return again.....maybe without the kids next time  :)
