When we initially started joking about how is David was going to Phoenix for work, then I was coming... and I was bringing our children - Cal and Sue mentioned that they'd been wanting to take a trip down there together because they hadn't been back since their wedding day almost 40 years earlier. They met at BYU but because Sue was from Phoenix they drove down over Christmas Break to get married. As soon as their wedding was over, they drove home. Soon after that, Sue's parents moved to St. George. They never had a reason to go back. Sue has been back many times to visit people with her mother, but they've never been back together. So the plan was hatched to all travel down together. We rented a mini-van and made the trip. Of course, while we were down there we had to visit the Mesa Temple. We packed a lunch and ate on the grass then walked around the temple and went to the visitors center. It was fun to reminisce about their wedding and spend time in such a place of peace.
Austin is walking better and better every day. It's so fun to see him standing on his own and taking more and more steps each time. Such a big baby. It was SO hot but Lydia got it into her head that she didn't want to wear her shoes. So she alternated between burning her feet off and crying while David carried her.
We also took the rest of the day and drove around Phoenix to see Sue's old home, her old school, and some other places that she used to spend time at. (Lydia fell asleep in the car, but everyone else had fun touring Sue's old stomping grounds.)
