Our Fun Weekend in Scottsdale

This is where we spent our weekend! My cousin came in to town to do some work for the Hyatt Regency in Scottsdale and said he could use Ryan's help on the project. The hotel gave us 2 nights free in exchange for one day of work. It was fun to get away and spend some time with my cousins and their kids.

This is the hotel's view from the pool. It is such a beautiful golf course. To bad Ryan didn't have the time or money to play a round of golf. Maybe next time we stay here,(wink,wink).

Dane just relaxed on the ride to Scottsdale. He had a hat on earlier, when I turned around to look at him his hat was on like this.

This is the view from the lobby. You can kind of see the golf course off in the distance.


My cousin was in charge of shooting an instructional/training video for bartenders. This is the only shot I got of the setup. You can't really tell what is going on but there was so much lighting and equipment that it looked like a real set. Ryan's job was to push the big camera around on the tracks as they filmed. His back was killing him by the end of the day.

Dane enjoyed messing up our bed, jumping around, and throwing all of the pillows and blankets onto the ground. He was wrestling with one of the big pillows and he and the pillow ended up flipping off the side of the bed. I ran around to the side that he fell off on and was expecting the screaming to start. He looked up at me to see my reaction and then started cracking up... It was so funny!

While we were here I taught Dane how to make a sad face by pouting out my bottom lip. He thought it was so funny and then he kept doing it the rest of the weekend. This is his sad face.

My cousin, Ashley's little girl is a cuddler. Here she is giving Dane some suga- it looks more like a painful headlock. She was always trying to give him hugs and kisses.

Here are Ryan and Dane right outside of the pool area. I Love palm trees!

The last day Ryan and Mike were able to just hang out and go swimming with the little kiddies.

We had such a great time hanging out with my cousins and being away for the weekend even if we did have to share a room with Dane!!
