Memoirs of our Trip

So, here are pictures of the rest of our trip to New Mexico and Arizona.

Oh, the title of this post was suggested by Clara, because I was at a loss for a good title.

We drove to Arizona after being in New Mexico to see our grandparents on my dad's side.  

Clara picked a huge grapefruit.  We called it the grandaddy of all grapefruit.



Some friends of our grandparents took us on a golfcart to get ice cream.  It was cold, and at night.



Dad laid bricks for a sidewalk between grandma and grandpa's house and their neighbor's.

The result of Dad's hard work!

All of us together.

Clara wanted me to take pictures of her.

New Mexico Trip


On April 2 we drove to New Mexico for a support trip.


We stopped at a big cross off of Interstate 4o and looked at the statue garden around it.



We got to meet our cousin's son Asher for the first time!





We all enjoyed holding him.



On Friday morning we spent time with Mema and Uncle Mark and made cookies. Date and Nut and then Dark Chocolate and Nut.





Melissa danced with the cookie sheets, waving them around to cool them off.




Mom really enjoyed sewing and quilting with Mema.
