ZONA

It has been 4 1/2 years since we have been to Arizona to visit Christian's parents; February Break seemed like the perfect time for some warmer weather. Berkeley took his first flight and slept the entire time, he was a trooper for his parents.

Our first stop was in sunny Mesa, Arizona to visit with both of Christian's brothers. Their housing complex looks surprisingly like "The Island" on Lost where the "Others" live.

It was so fun to visit with Christian's brothers and their wives. We got to meet Berkeley's newest cousin, Oliva who was born just a few days after him, and his newest dog cousin, Captain. The weather was amazing in Mesa hitting 85 degrees one day! We ate at my FAVORITE place Cafe Rio, visited the mall, celebrated Kasey's 21st birthday at IHOP, and just hung out.

We then made our way to Christian's home town, Show Low, named after the turn of a card. When we arrived at mom and dad's house we were surprised by how much the house had changed. They had redone most of the house and it looked GREAT! While in Show Low we did all of our favorite things:

Visit the Show Low Chamber of Commerce

Eat lots and lot of yummy food, including but not limited to: crepes, Spanish food, waffles, guava ice cream and chicken Parmesan.

Christian and Dad love playing the piano together. We were all blessed to listen to them play piano duets for four hours straight one day. Berkeley enjoys to listen to the piano; it surprisingly lulls him to sleep or calms him down when it is being played.

While Berkeley enjoyed wrapping up in this cool Spider Man towel after his bath...
his dad is enjoying playing Spider Man on the Mogollon Rim.

We did have a fun "hike" around the Mogollon Rim. Here is Christian with his cute mom and sister. Grandma loves holding her cute grandson.

The night before we flew out of town, we got together with some of Christian's High School Peeps and some friends from U of L @ Chilis. (Go Go, Really Go, Really Go Show Low Go!) It was fun to get to meet some of the people that Christian talks about. A fun time was had by all reminiscing about the good old days and catching up on what everyone has been doing for the last 10 years.

We had a wonderful trip visiting with family and friends.
