Lake Havasu

We got invited by some friends of ours, that Vafa knows from residency, to come along on the annual trip they take with their families. They all went to residency together and now live in different parts of the US. So...let me introduce you to the families.

The Schanzers: Danny, Ben, Andy, and Andrea

The Goldfarbs: Jeremy, Misha, Ilona, and Jonah

and The Nanigians:Sarah, Dana, Maya, and Brad

All of them are super nice, sweet, and funny. So, needless to say we had a great vacation. Naison had so much fun playing with all the kids and we had fun every night hanging with adults!

We rented a house in Lake Havasu, AZ so we just had a few hours drive and we were there. The house had a swimming pool and hot tub. There was a lot of swimming, jumping off the diving board, and chilin in the hot tub going on.

We hit the beach a couple of times while we were there and rented a house boat for 2 days, which was so much fun. We would set out on the lake in the morning, find a nice beach spot to stop at and grill lunch, play for a while, and then head back to the house. It was the perfect amount of time on the boat. However, Nais would not nap on the boat so he was so tired by the end of the day.

There was a slide and the kids enjoyed playing in the sand and water, and jumping on the beds! Kian just got carried wherever we went. He is a go with the flow kind of kid!

Every night a different family made dinner. There was so much variety in our food...I was loving it. We had fish, burgers, tacos, salads, and we made Persian food. The guys all went fishing for a day but didn't catch that much. Other than that, the kids did lots of crafts, watched movies, ate snacks, hung out, and enjoyed each other.

Here are all the kids minus Kian...

and here is the best group shot! Thanks Andy!

We had such a good time with everyone. Thanks to all of the amazing families for inviting us and being so fun to hang out with. Hope to see you all soon. Love to all!
