It was such a delicious meal. And of course pie! The family made like 8 pies. They were all delicious even though I stuck to pumpkin, apple and cherry...I heard from all the others that they were all heavenly. After Turkey dinner, we had a few rounds of ping pong for people to play and a little bit of lounging to let the food settle.
On Friday, we all took our time to get up and then gathered at a park in Mesa. We played 5 on 5 sand volleyball and it was such a blast. The sand was a little rough on the arches but otherwise it was super fun. We also played a little basketball, wiffle ball and football. After our park day, we freshened up and went out to dinner at ZinBurger. It was delicious. Not that we needed more food. But we got delicious hamburgers, truffle fries, zucchini fries and sweet potato fries (there were 8 of us) and then we headed to a late showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I. It was a fun evening overall. Moving onto Saturday. Tadd, Nick, Alyssa and I headed to LGO (la grande orange) which is the best breakfast spot ever! And we enjoyed a lovely breakfast before gathering at the parents house and the boys headed out for a round of golf. The girls hung back and lounged around the house and just chatted away.Tara and Russ took off in order to beat the Sunday rush of traffic. Sunday, we all went to church together and heard Sharon give a great talk, then we played some ping pong and said goodbye to Katie and Tyler and their girls.
On Monday, we hung around until Tadd and I headed to Pita Jungle, (another great restaurant) to meet up with our friends Jex and Aubrey for some lunch. It was so great to see them. We miss them now that we live in Roseville, especially since they are from here ironically.
After lunch we headed to Buy Buy Baby to register for Nick and Alyssa's baby girl that is on the way. It was incredibly overwhelming and it is not even my baby. That store is crazy huge and wow there is a lot of stuff to purchase for a new baby. It was a sample round for Tadd and I. Maybe when it is real we will know what we are getting ourselves into. After registering, we went to Olive Garden for dinner for our last evening in Arizona. After dinner, we went bowling and played a few games. It was a lot of fun.
Then bright and early we headed to the airport and arrived in Sacramento at 8:15am. Off to work for Tadd and I get to organize today before heading back to work tomorrow. We had such a great time with all of Tadd's family in Arizona. We are sad to leave but are looking forward to the next time we all get together.
