ARIZONA

Tom and I had a great trip to Arizona to visit with Leah and the boys the week before Thanksgiving. We had a great time. We left Salt Lake City at 8:30 a.m. and thought we thought the pilot was going to drive all the way there with how long we taxied around the airport.When we got to Arizona we rented a cool convertable. The weather was so nice. We rode with the top down most of the time.









We got to Leah's Friday afternoon because it is a 3 1/2 hour drive from Phoenix to Sierra Vista but the drive was beautiful. I was fun to see the kids. They were excited to see us and right away they played space ship with grandpa They were also playing with their moon sand when we got









there. Interseting but messy stuff.

Saturday morning we got up and went 4 wheeling. What a blast. Captian ran right beside Leah and kept up with her the whole time. He had a great time.James and Tom love riding with their mom and Timmy rode right between Tom and I. We followed right behind Leah and Timmy was so comfortable that he just leaned right back against me and enjoyed the ride. Tom took James also and they all had a lot of fun!!!









Tim and I stayed behine when Tom and Leah took Tom and James out for a ride and we explored all around us . Tim enjoyed walkint up and down the ramp on the trailer and we found some blooming cactus and he sat in a pretty bush and we found a hole and we wondered who made it. We had a good time waiting for the riders to return.









Needless to say, we also had much drama that day.. Tommy touched something and when Leah stopped him he dropped into drama mode and hid his face in the 4 wheeler and wouldn't look at anyone. Even when Grandpa tried to make him laugh, for a few minutes he just hid his face and cried.

We had snacks and played around on the trailer before we left to come home. These boys sure love their grandpa!!! When we got back to their home the boys played outside for a while.

We took everyone out to dinner at the pizza place and the boys played with Tom and then waited for pizza. We had a good time.
Before we left to come home we went to Tombstone Az and enjoyed looking around for the morning.
One of the shops had some bones and skelitons out front and we took a picture and James was so scared but he was brave to stand there so we could get this shot.
We had a great time Thanks for letting us come and visit. Hopefully we will get there again soon.
Love you all!!!

The boys still talk about how much fun they had with you. I'm so glad that you came out, and that the weather was good. Dad you look good in the convertable.
