Our Family Project

The weekend after we went to the Grand Canyon, Jon and I left for San Diego.  He was scheduled to meet his manager there on Monday, so we left the children with Jon's sister in Queen Creek, AZ and flew over to San Diego for the weekend before his meetings.  We flew into San Diego early Saturday morning and checked into our hotel then headed to the beach . Jon, was like a native ... going out into the ocean, boogie boarding and swimming in the waves.  I was a little less active ... walking out into the waves and splashing around for a while, then returning to my towel on the beach to read a book on my phone.  Yeah, I'm a party pooper ... oh well, at least I got in some relaxing.

After we got back from Jon's family reunion, we received a visit from these lovely folks!  Our friends from Utah came down to see us as part of their trip to see Native American dwellings and the south rim of the Grand Canyon.  They invited us along to see the south rim.  Later, we were told that the north rim is much better, less populated and a better view.  So, next time we go to the Grand Canyon, we'll go to the north rim. I just had to snap this little photo of my friend's youngest son.  He is so adorable! Our boys got along famously ... and it was so good for Andrew to have an older boy to look up to.  It was so nice to see them hanging out and playing together.  I'm so grateful to have such wonderful friends!  Thanks for coming to visit us ... especially during the super hot time of year!
