Visitors in Tucson

We have been here in Tucson for 2 years now. We have had a few visitors during that time. Mom, Wendell, & Ashlie came for a visit and we visited the Bio Dome. This was probably the highlight of the trip for Wendell.


This is Ashlie going into a haunted mine in Old Tucson. She is so excited to go in. Too bad we didn't get an after picture. She screamed the entire time and ran out of there crying. Some other kids waiting to go in changed their mind after seeing her.


We had so much fun with Ashlie at Old Tucson that we had Katee bring the girls down for a day of fun. Abby, Emily, and Liz enjoyed the haunted mine; but poor Sara was so scared she just buried herself in Katee.




Dad and Joyce also came down for a visit. We took them to Tombstone where we watched a reenactment of the gunfight at the OK Corral and learned how to play a new card game called Faro. Dad was chosen to be a player in the game which he loved (I am sure it had nothing to do with gambling though).






Mom & Grandma came for a visit as well. Grandma loved Tombstone...actually she liked all the cowboys walking around.

Yipee! We are excited to see the updates--when they come. Tucson looks really cool. I wish we could have made a trip down to see you guys. We wish you well with your "confinement" period. Call if you want to chat! (hey, I get lonely all the way out here in Ohio!) We look forward to Jr.'s arrival and wish you the best!

Looks great!! This "confinement" period will be good for you--you'll see how the rest of us live!! No spur of the moment Hawaii trips or spending more time in Utah than at your house.
