Catching up

Last Thursday, Eric's parents made a trip here, it was so much fun to have them, CJ wanted them to stay until February or March, or at least until May 30th, but their return tickets said Tuesday, so we said our sad goodbyes around lunch time, and have been getting back into our groove again.  We had triple digit tempratures the whole time they were here, but have had a bit of a "relief" since then, it has only been 99 degrees.  No fear, Saturday makes a return to the triple digits, for another week.

We tried to have a balance of fun adventures and a few home projects.  I think we did alright.
They got a tour of the base, we went to the top of Senital Peak, checked out petroglyphs, and saw amazing sights from Mt Lemmon and the top of the ski lift.  For home projects, they helped paint the girls' bedroom, install a ceiling fan in the kitchen, outside lights, and change the valve on our toilet.  We grilled out, pulled out the pool, and went for walks around the neighborhood.  Even though it was hot, we made bread, cookies, ribs, and for a special cool treat, we made the best ice cream around!  Enjoy the pictures.

 

We made a paper chain counting down until August.  Every day CJ tries to speed the time up.
