trek to arizona

We got home yesterday afternoon from six warm days in Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Prescott Valley and Camp Verde, Arizona.  It was a long six days, but we really had a great time and even though we traded 80 degrees for 40 and freezing, it was so nice to e home last night.  And to sleep in my California king sized bed.

The main reason for our trip was to celebrate Ross' Grandma Bea's 90th Birthday.  Ross and I helped to put together a party for Grandma Bea and it was so much fun and came off without a hitch.  The food, company, and entertainment were perfect, and in two weeks I'll have pictures to share, after the photographer we hired sends them too me.  Can I tell you, people of the Internet, how wonderful it was to be at a family event and not worry about taking a single picture because there were two people there with really nice cameras capturing everything for me?  It was awesome.

Anyway, in addition to the party, we also visited the Gilbert Temple open house, ate a ton of great food, went to an ASU baseball game, visited overnight with Ross' brother, and went to a place called Out of Africa where we fed giraffes, saw hyenas and watched a tiger jump and splash around in water.  It was awesome.
