We try and make a trip down to see D's grandparents at least once a year, this time it worked out for the end of their hot hot August. 110 nearly everyday. Needless to say we were in their pool a lot. We also squeezed in an overnight trip to Camp Verde for a desert train ride, and a visit to the Out of Africa Wildlife Park, where we were amazed to see trainers swimming with tigers, had close encounters with giant snakes, and fed a giraffe! We were also lucky enough to talk D's uncle into saddling up Sacaton so E could take her first horse ridding lesson. The heat brought us indoors to air-conditioned movie theaters, the mall and In-N-Out Burger several times. It was a relaxing trip where all the worries of home-life just melted away as we were doted on, the way grandparents do. It was a fantastic end to our summer. Thanks so much Benny and Hilda can't wait to see you guys at Christmas!
