Sunday morning, we got back into the car and headed to Phoenix. It was snowing when we left Provo and continued to snow on us most of the day as we traveled. There were places where we could go only 35-40 mph because the roads were white and slick or slushy. It was beautiful scenery and we talked of how thankful we were to have a comfortable, warm car in which to travel in such adverse conditions.
We stayed with Megi and Ty this time (we rotate) and their two little girls and enjoyed so much cuddling and playing and visiting. Monday night, everyone gathered at Jerel and Camille's house in Mesa where we ate together and played together and renewed our love. We have 9 grandchildren living in Arizona at the present time. Tuesday night, we all assembled together at the Mesa temple grounds where we enjoyed the pageant yet again. I checked back in my journal and found that since 1995, the first year we saw the pageant, we have attended 12 times, missing only 1998 and 2001. We never tire of its beauty and its message and the spirit we feel.
Wednesday morning, we got in the car and headed back home. It was a good trip and we made more happy memories. I regret that I don't have more pictures. I was too busy enjoying.
Below are pictures of Skyler and Jordan, Doug and Nya, Jordan and Doug playing, and Jodi and Chase arm wrestling!
