Phoenix

After a whirlwind tour of Grand Canyon natl park, we've spent the last few days at "home" in Phoenix with Erin and Chad. Saturday morning we hiked in Shaw Butte park for several hours. We managed to climb one of the tallest foothills and enjoyed an amazing view of Phoenix. Only one pic on the iPhone:



Then we came home to cook thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings! We had a feast with Chads brother and sister-in-law, and we watched lots of football. Go Irish!

Today we went to Saguaro Lake for a picnic lunch. There were lots of huge saguaro cacti!



Then we saw the fountain in Fountain Hills, and the girls had fun in the playgrounds there.




Then we went to the McCormick Stillman Railroad Park for an afternoon of train fun! We toured several train cars and the huge miniature train display, and we took the train ride around the park (twice). We got ice cream and the girls rode the carousel, too!







Tonight we went out to dinner at Chino Bandito, famous for being on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Imagine a combo of Chinese, Mexican, and Caribbean food!




At home, the girls went swimming and had several ping pong matches. They just went to bed. Tomorrow we head to Sedona for the day!
