We flew into Phoenix on Friday night, ate at Shake Shack and stayed in Scottsdale. On Saturday morning we drove our brand new rental Suburban (it only had 1800 miles when we picked it up) north to Prescott Valley for a day of twinner activities. The baptisms were in the morning, then we caught the tail end of the boys Pine Wood Derby, and we ended the day with dinner at Craig and Christina's home out on the prairie.
The twins were excited to have so many people present to honor and support them. We haven't seen them for two years and they were excited to see the boys and also seemed pretty excited to have Uncle Ross throw them baseballs for over an hour. Luke took me on a tour of the yard to see the chickens and dead things - rats, rabbits and chicken skulls and both twins let the boys hold their geckos. Gross!
While in Arizona we also got to spend some time with Grandma Bea and Uncle Bill who was visiting from Minnesota. Elliott is officially taller than Grandma Bea - she turned 95 in February and the boys had never met Bill...he was impressed with their heights, manners and generally good behavior. I'm glad that they made a positive impression. The weather was warmer than home, and the sunset was pretty.
We spent Saturday night at Grandma Connie's house. On Sunday morning we got up, went to church and then headed back to change our clothes to head home. While packing up suitcases, there was a lizard hanging out in the room Ross slept in (he was snoring so I slept in a different room), on "my side" of the bed. Yuck!
We packed up, got lunch at Raising Cane's and headed to the airport.
