trip to arizona

Just got back from our mini-vacation. Went to Phoenix where it was unbelievably hot for only being May. Stayed with some friends for a couple days, then stayed with Alfonso's cousin on the air force base for a few more. Were lucky enough to get to see Stefanie for a quick meal as well. Alejandro did really well on the drive there. He behaved for the first few days but the trip started to take its toll on him. We took a miserable drive to the Grand Canyon. Alejandro refused to ride in the backpack and kept taking off his sandals (velcro is not such a wonderful invention after all.) So we only stayed at the canyon for a couple hours (most of which was at the picnic grounds where he could run around with tennis shoes that he couldn't take off.) Then cut our journey short and drove home late last night skipping other planned stops along the way. We are all happy to be home.


Love always,
