Most of Julia&#8217;s relatives on her mom&#8217;s side live in Mesa, so we got in a lot of quick visits with family. Most of the Tawzer clan (including plenty we didn&#8217;t manage to get pictures of) went to Lynn and Dixie&#8217;s house where we got to talk a bit while Emmy and Kaylee rode bikes outside with their second cousins. It&#8217;s fun to have so many cousins!<\/p>\n<p>While we were in Mesa we stayed at Cindy and Lee&#8217;s casita, which Emmy and Kaylee claimed as their own house by the end of the trip. \ud83d\ude42 We got to see a lot more family at Cindy and Lee&#8217;s house, including their son Shawn, Kasey and Denise and a few of their kids (who got to hear Kaylee tell all about our trip to the zoo), and Great Grandma Maevon. We&#8217;re sad we didn&#8217;t take more pictures.<\/p>\n<p>We got talked into staying an extra day so that we could see Julia&#8217;s cousin Mandy perform as part of an improv comedy group called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jesterzimprov.com\/\">Jesterz<\/a>. What a lot of fun! Mandy&#8217;s sister Calli and her friend Fiona even babysat the girls for us that night, which was awesome. The girls rode bikes all evening and generally had lots of fun staying up past their bedtimes.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re really glad we could come visit!<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->All of our Spring Break posts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Bouncy House!\" href=\"http:\/\/juliaandalex.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/bouncy-house\">Bouncy House!<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Happy Birthday, Grandma Cathie!\" href=\"http:\/\/juliaandalex.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/happy-birthday-grandma-cathie\">Happy Birthday, Grandma Cathie!<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"On the Road and Fun in Phoenix\" href=\"http:\/\/juliaandalex.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/on-the-road-and-fun-in-phoenix\">On the Road and Fun in Phoenix<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Fun with Family for Spring Break\" href=\"http:\/\/juliaandalex.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/fun-with-family-for-spring-break\">Fun with Family for Spring Break<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Great Grandma Conquer\" href=\"http:\/\/juliaandalex.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/great-grandma-conquer\">Great Grandma Conquer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Phoenix Zoo\" href=\"http:\/\/juliaandalex.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/phoenix-zoo\">Phoenix Zoo<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Bass Pro Shop and Breakfast with Kasey and Karl\" href=\"http:\/\/juliaandalex.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/bass-pro-shop-and-breakfast-with-kasey-and-karl\">Bass Pro Shop and Breakfast with Kasey and Karl<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/juliaandalex.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/happy-easter\">Happy Easter!<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We got to see lots of family in Mesa!
