On Top of the World (12/52 and 13/52 posts)

I didn't get the last two posts up because we have been in Arizona. We were so excited to get out of the snow and cold and finally see and feel the warm sun. We started our trip at Nana and Papa's Arizona near Cave Creek. The weather was perfect and we filled our days with hikes, golf and swimming. We even caught the parade for Cave Creek Days (oh boy is that a sight to see!). We saw Katie, Brenda and Eric who joined us on hikes and for swimming. The girls even got to see their friend Ella who had moved to Arizona in January.

For part 2 of our trip, our original plan was to head to Gramma and Grandpa's Arizona in Sun City West to stay with them. However, since Grandpa had triple bypass and a heart valve replacement in Fargo on March 10, the plans changed and we were going to stay at their house alone (Nana and Papa were heading back to MN). When we arrived at their place, we dragged all of our stuff in only to find the house all opened up, the patio furniture out and Gramma and Grandpa relaxing on the patio!! Needless to say everyone was super surprised and super excited to see them. We filled the remainder of our days with pedicures, relaxing, swimming and convertible and golf cart rides.

As usual, we had a blast in AZ. It's hard to believe that it was the girls' sixth trip. It was also the first time I flew with the girls by myself (on the return fight) and I'm pleased to say that it went quite smoothly!

Check out our trip!
