The Grand Finale
I couldn't think of a better way to end our trip than by kicking it with our good friends the Martinez's and Herrera's at a totally sweet cabin in Pinetop. We wanted to take advantage of the promotion at Sunrise where you get a free kids' season pass when you donate some canned food. So I was in charge of finding the cabin, which is never a good idea to put me in charge of things like that. I found a good deal on a 1500 sq ft cabin, which was going to be a tight squeeze for all TWENTY of us but after I booked it the lady kept saying she would send me a confirmation and she never did. Finally like the day before we were supposed to stay there I still hadn't heard back from her and I was getting in panic mode that we were all going to end up camping in the freezing cold. I turned it over to Jason and not only did he get the cabin booked but he got the lady to hook it up with this huge 3000+ sq ft cabin with everything from a hot tub to a pool table. So not fair. The kids of course had the time of their lives running around exploring with their best friends and we had the best time relaxing, hanging out and staying up late playing games and drinking hot chocolate. We even snuck out for dinner and left poor Brayden and Hannah in charge of all 13 kids, bless their little hearts. After 2 days at the cabin we took a little detour on the way home and stopped at Tonto natural bridge which was way cooler than I had imagined. We had lots of tired little kiddos and took lots of rest breaks, but the hike was totally worth it. And we can't forget our lunch at the cafe where not only did they seat our huge group and get our food out in record time, but they also gave us the most delicious pie for free, we will definately be making that our traditional pit stop from now on (if only I could remember the name...)!
Ava couldn't get enough of Maddox, but I'm not sure if he was feelin the love...

That is one grand finale! When you guys do it, you do it big. I love the way Jason worked the cabin deal. So very Jason. I'm loving all the cute hats! Where do you get them from:) The little photo shoot pictures at the end are adorable. They got some pretty good shots.
What a fun vacation! I love the pics of Jayden and Riley :)
Wow, looks like a fun time!
How fun Jamie! Cute little hats- how is business?
I love cabins! And can I just say, Maddox is starting to look a lot like little miss tiny kylie... looks like a blast was had by all.
Looks like so much fun Jamie. I love vacationing with friends. It makes it so much more fun!
I'm so glad you posted our fun weekend at Pinetop. I love the pics of Jayden and Riley. We can't wait for our winter ski trip! We've got to get that planned. We sure love you guys!!!
Looks fun - where's that trail you took? Is it closer to Sunrise or the Valley. Looks awesome.
Maybe next year I'll be brave and open up the cabin so you don't have to rent a place. But only if the boys stay up all night stocking the fire!! :-)
What a great vacation that lasted two months!! I love the love fest. So sweet and innocent. Ahhh.
