Dad turned 70 this year so Vonda flew from Oregon to Utah, then Ruth, her kids, Vonda and I all drove to Arizona. It was a surprise for mom and dad when we showed up. Keeping the secret for months wasn't easy, but it was worth it!


Ruth was confused about where The Gap was and we almost ran out of gas and asked an Indian if they would take Ruth and I into Chinle to get a couple of gallons that we could put in the car, which was just enough to get us to Chinle to fill up. So we took advantage of the detour and ate lunch at Sonic. Vonda being silly like she always is. Love her!

Adaline and Cordelia did really well on the drive. Here they are enjoying some tots. Haha

When we got to Lakeside we met up with Mom, Dad, Bridgette and Cody to have dinner at Wendy's. As you can see, silliness runs in the family.

Before heading back to Utah, we all met for dinner at The Lotus Garden. It was such a special trip to get to spend time with my amazing father for his 70th birthday. I hope and pray that he is around for many, many more years.
Love my family!

And it was snowing on our way back to Utah. Who knew that Arizona would get more snow this year than Utah!
