They're here in Arizona

 
Look who we saw walking on the tarmac after getting off the plane.  We saw the plane taxiing in so decided to wait by the fence and here they came.  Long-sleeve shirts, long pants, sweatshirts and DeAnn even had her boots on.  Didn't they know they were coming to sunny Arizona????
 Arriving Passengers:
 We decided to go to a place called Schnepf Farms which I'd read about in a magazine and it was right on the way home.  It was a fun place but a bit run down - I think the owners should maybe spend a little time on cleaning the place up.  It's a peach orchard with a small petting zoo, a "pick your own" vegetable garden, hayrides, little train ride, a small restaurant and bakery. 
 As you can see, DeAnn was enjoying the pigs and goats.
 She REALLY wanted to take this little "kid" home with her!!!

 The peach orchard.
 
On the way home, we went to the Rodeo Fest at our church.  We had a cowboy dinner followed by a gospel concert by the Gate Keepers.  We thought it was going to be southern gospel but it was a lot "rockier" than southern gospel.  Our children were not all that thrilled about going to the concert but guess what - they ended up really enjoying it. 
The church also had some horses there for the kids to ride and a white carriage that DeAnn and John took a ride around the parking lot in.  DeAnn said it was her very first carriage ride.  John said he hoped she enjoyed it because it might also be her last.
 

 Today, Dad, John and DeAnn went on a hike.  I think it turned out to be a bit more strenuous than Dad thought it would be.  They came home tired and sweaty so they're all three in the hot tub now.  Then we're going to dinner.

 Love the hat, DeAnn!!
 This is a view of the area where they hiked.  Isn't it pretty??
