We had a wonderful time in Arizona with Jesse's family. Warm, sunny, no work, no homework, no dieting, just playing and eating. Does it get much better? I wasn't really happy with myself in gaining 3 pounds in a week. I would like to think that I gained three pounds in muscle with the 7 mile hike up to the top of this mountain...
OR, the 20 mile bike ride, OR, another 9 mile hike along the road up the canyon. But I think it was all of the wonderful food that my In-Laws cooked. Grandpa's smoked turkey looked like it should have been on the cover of a magazine. (This picture doesn't do it justice. It was seriously sparkling!)
We went to the Arizona/Sonora Desert Museum that was really like a desert zoo. We saw Mountain Lions, Havelina's, Black Bears, Snakes, all kinds of crawling things, it was a fun place.
Did I mention that it was warm there? It was in the high 60's...beautiful. We did a lot of outdoor cooking in Grandpa's outdoor kitchen. I think I would cook out there all year long. We really enjoyed the fire and eating under the stars.
I think that these two look like twins!
We had a great time with family and the kids especially with their cousins. They see each other once a year and it is if they live across the street from each other. That's the way it's supposed to be right? Unconditional love! I love it!
P.S. Ricky Bobby got to join us! He loved AZ too!! I think he's smiling! :)
