AZ Trip Part II - a.k.a. Electric Boogaloo

Half way through our week in Arizona, we decided to surprise my cousin Kay (Her birthday is the 21st of January) and her family by gracing them with our presence. Her sweet husband, Jace, was the only one who knew we were coming. I truly do not know what I was thinking, but I didn’t get any pictures of her face of the moment she saw us, but I can assure you, she was very surprised!

IT WAS AWESOME!!!

It was so good to see everyone and visit and hang out – so much fun! And, of course, we had to take them to Chino Bandidos (west side location) for her birthday as well – SOOOOO GOOD!! If you’re ever in Arizona, it is truly a “MUST GO THERE” kind of place. The Jade chicken – mmmmmm, I want some right now!!!

Now, if you’ve ever been in Arizona during the winter time, you may know that the citrus is in PRIME!! I realized that I had NEVER pulled an orange off of a real orange tree – nor had I pulled a grapefruit either – and as luck would have it, my aunt Flo and Uncle Delwyn have both in their back yard, so here I am pulling my first citrus of the trees…. Lame I know, but it was fun for me.

Here are a few more photos of our time with the Meyers / Belnaps…

This trip was highly needed and so much fun! I do look forward to being able to go again next winter – it’s definitely something you should do if you live in a 4 season area.

Thank you to Bob and Lenn (Michelle’s parents) for putting us up for the short time we were there.

And, thank you to the Meyer family for letting us crash in your home.

We love you all very, very much and our lives would be nothing but empty without you in them.

Many hugs to all of you!!
