AZ Road Trip

Friday morning my dad and I headed out on the road to Scottsdale, AZ. We made a 30 minute stop at Uncle Scott and Aunt Coletta's house and then on to Payson to stay with my Grandma and Henry. We had a nice dinner and then spend Saturday morning looking thru old pics.

It was so great to see Grandma. I am so glad I could make the trip!

Then we drove back down the hill to Scottsdale and spent the rest of the weekend with Uncle Scott and Aunt Coletta. We played lots of games including Settlers of Catan and Hand & Foot and had several 'debates' :)

All in all it was a very fun trip!

We even got to enjoy so beautiful scenery

Kristin it looks like you had a great trip. Grandma looks the same to me as she did 15 years ago.

I think it is so cool she found someone like Henry to spoil her during her final years. Someone to go to Church with and share interests.

Grandpa Bill was pretty demanding and set in his ways. He loved Grandma but didn't spend much time showing it.
