We just got back from a 3000 mile round trip down to Arizona. Here are a few pictures…
We passed over the Hoover Dam, the slowest traffic of the whole journey. We saw the huge new bridge they are in the process of building. Talk about road works. It went on for miles!
We saw beautiful mountains and ribbon roads that snaked off into the distance. Every turn brought more of God’s awesome creation!
We heard quite a bit of snoring coming from the backseat. When he wasn’t watching one of his films or munching on fruit snacks, John was sleeping.
We even got in a bit of geocaching, or looking for treasure, as John calls it.
But the best part of our trip was what was waiting for us IN Arizona!
Maria, Lyla, Harlow and Greg!! I hadn’t seen the twins in person since they were born and David and John had not met them in person at all! We had such a great time getting to know them, seeing them in their everyday environment, playing with them, just spending time with them. They are as cute as they can be. They both have the most expressive eyes and faces ever! These are just a few of the 500 pictures we took of them!
Harlow - look at those beautiful baby browns.
Reading is one of their favorite activities!
John loved playing with his two nieces. One of his questions was - when they grow up are they going to be sisters? He just couldn’t fathom the idea that there were two girls who look alike and are the exact same age. And of course, Lyla and Harlow liked the fact that John was close to their size. They spent a lot of time just looking at each other!
Lyla is sporting a trendy black eye - neither twin is willing or able to tell us how she got it!
Lyla looked at us with the BIGGEST brown eyes, just staring. WHO are you and what are you doing in MY house? After a bit she would break into a smile. Both babies are so smiley and happy, very vocal, and they love to play with each other, of course. Built in best friends!
All too soon it was time to head back up to Idaho and freezing weather. It was a very toasty 85 degrees in AZ. No wonder so many people like to winter there!
