Arizona trip

The whole family on top of the hoover dam with the new bypass bridge in the background. It was a real highlight to see the construction of the bridge. Adam was eating up all of the statistics and interesting info. It was really fun.
The kids really enjoyed it and made it even more fun. The only thing that could have been better would have been a national championship the night before when Oregon lost!
Haley posing a bit in the Crosby's really nice backyard. Mason and Daddy enjoyed climbing around in the tree. While not it's normal January temperature, it was a good 50 degrees warmer than Provo. It was really fun.

So while we visited the Crosbys in Glendale, we made it to a model train park. Several enthusiasts had built trains of all different scales and the highlight was that you could ride on them through a field that was scale of what trains might have seen back when. It was fun to see and the kids had a hoot!

Old friends! It was fun to see Weston share with Mason and Haley and watch trains together.
Not sure why Adam is so serious here.
Our trip was a whirlwind that included visits with several different friends spread all over greater Arizona. In our 4 day trip we saw friends that had moved to Arizona over the years. We really enjoyed seeing the Reese family and their beautiful new home. Their kids were super fun and it was great to see Dave at the command of a minivan!
