Grandma and Grandpa AKA G.G. and Papa Visit

February 9-12, 2009

We had the pleasure of having Grandma and Grandpa Schroeder come and stay with us for a few days. The kids were so excited to see them. About 5 minutes after arriving the kids had them reading to them. We did a lot of bird watching, went for a few short walks and then took a drive up to Sedona and up to Flagstaff. That was such a beautiful drive, there was about 6 inches of snow on the ground in Flag so pretty. Gillian got to play in the snow for the very 1st time.

While Jack was at school we went for a drive around Anthem and then we stopped at our favorite hiking area to bird watch. It was very cold and windy so the bird stayed hidden and we left early.
