This year for my family vacation, my parents wanted to surprise my brother, Ryan, and I with a trip to Phoenix. But before you're like... uhh.. whyyyy?? There's a good reason. I swear! At the beginning of the summer, my mom and I went to California for Dancing with the Stars taping. DISNEY NIGHT even!! Crazy cool right?!
Well ever since I started watching the show, I've been a fan of Derek Hough. Who hasn't fangirled over him right? He's full of inspiration and always pushing the boundaries of new dances and art. I'm ooggling right now just thinking about him... FOCUS!! haha!! Back to the trip... well I saw that he and his sister, Julianne, were going on a dancing tour. Thought it was cool. Shared it with my mom, and the next thing I know, she's telling me to take off certain days from work. SUSPICIOUS I SAY! :) Anyways... fast forward several months and we're on our way to AZ.
Being an animal lover, we had to go to the zoo. :D
Fed my twin..
Told dad to stand next to the border patrol hut!
Made some new friends!
I'm pretty sure this explains itself. We ate at In & Out twice in the 3 days we were there. :D
Happiness is all around!
The hot Arizona desert
MIRROR MAZE!! I'm pretty sure I stepped on more children then I should admit too.. :/
I mean, come on!! I love this store front!
Had to have my chai tea!
He holds cups very well.
Someone had a sense of humor down the arts district.
Hmm... anyone else see it?
I've decided this is my future studio.
Now for the reason we came to Phoenix!! :D
Had to make sure I choose the correct outift!
Waiting in line for the show. Some confortations happened but everything worked out and we were sooooo excited!!
FINALLY FOUND OUT WE WERE SECOND ROW!!! :D :D :D OMG!!!
Ryan was so stoked!!
THEY KILLLLLEEEDDDD ITTTTT!!!
Totally drooling over Derek and Julianne...
Umm.. Favorite dance!? I'd say so!!
They were amazing singers as well.
And of course Ryan wanted to get up on stage with his future wife... And his wish came true! :D If only he could've danced with her. :P
We were soooo close!! :D
It was suuuuuch an amazing showwww! :D
Finally, everyone waiting to possibly get a picture with Derek and Julianne.
