Pinetop

Last weekend we made a quick trip to Pinetop, AZ. It's about 4 hours north of us.  We were meeting up with one of Matthew's friend from the mission and his family.  We had been seriously trying for a couple of years to get together and nothing has worked out so though we had to make it quick (we were there less than 48 hours) we made it work.  I'm so glad we did too cause it was a lot of fun and a great little escape from the Phoenix heat.


It was so nice to see Jason and Lara again and their cute kids.  I actually hadn't met any of the kids before, that's how long it had been since we had seen them. Austin got along great with them and they all became good buddies.




Pinetop was beautiful and it felt more like Colorado than Arizona with the high elevation, tall pine trees and cool weather. We did some hiking, swimming, hanging out, and playing at the park with the kids.






It was so nice to have Matthew all to ourselves for a couple of days. Now back to hard core studying for him as his board exams are coming up pretty soon.

Yay for quick getaways! Every time we drive up to Phil's parent's place and we pass your time share cabins I think of you. :) Good luck on boards! He will do great.
