Arizona was a nice break

Our 12 day trip to Arizona (4-15 Nov) was a delight in so many ways.
--Visiting with Aaron, Trina and their 7 children was so much fun; we ate out, went to the Old Tucson Movie studio lot, the colossal caves and a church primary dinner.  Here are some photos of that part of our vacation.

--We also had a delightful visit with Mike and Melissa along with Jacob, Wyatt, and Tyson and Blake (Melissa's boys).  We hung out a lot, enjoying getting to know Melissa whom we came to really like and appreciate.  One of the highlights (for us, not for Mike and Melissa) was watching the Seattle Sea Hawks wax the Arizona Cardinals.  We also ate out at a nice Mexican restaurant as well as BBQ.  Here's some more photos.

We are grateful for the time each of these families made for us--we truly felt welcomed and loved.
