Family and Good Food

We've had a busy--and delicious and fun--few days.  Our son Eric, seen here second from right, his wife Liz and son John--came to Arizona over their spring break.  They spent time with us and checked out a couple of universities here in Arizona--ASU in Tempe and Grand Canyon University.

Our grandson John brought three friends along--Branson, Josiah and Estebahn.  They have been friends for years and all of them are high school seniors.  That means giving some thought to what they want to study in college and, more importantly, where.

They spent two nights in an Airbnb rental house in San Tan Valley.  We had lunch at the Cactus grill in our resort. Coming from Colorado, the warm weather and sun were big attractions here.  I didn't realize boys like to lay out and tan in the sun.

Our neighbors Bob and Jean lent us their golf cart.  These four boys--all 16--enjoyed touring the resort on these wheels. Thanks, Bob and Jean.

That day I served a chili dinner at our place.

Monday, they moved to Tapatio Cliffs resort in Phoenix.  We joined them for lunch.

                                        

 Eric took a selfie in front of the falls in the resort.  What a beautiful place!

They are now headed north, back toward their Colorado homes.  We so enjoyed their visit.

Family comes for a short visit

Our son Eric and his family stopped by for one night on their way to California for Spring Break. We relaxed and talked outside for a while before dinner, enjoying our time with grandchildren John and Kylie and their parents Liz and Eric.  Kylie is a junior in high school and they are spending the week looking a possible colleges in California for the fall of 2018.

Here Kylie is showing her brother and parents a video she is preparing of their trip.  It was fun to be a small part in the video and we look forward to watching the finished product.  You can see her family is enjoying it, too. 

We wish they could have stayed longer but we are glad we could provide an overnight place to stay on their way.
