Day 123 - Sunday, July 27, 2008 - HOT SUNDAY

Hot Sunday....

For our last day in Arizona, my cousin Holly asked to go see the LDS Mesa Temple. The only time we could go was at 1pm that afternoon. I think out of all the days we were in Arizona, this was the hottest! It also didn't help to go at one of the hottest times of the day. But it was still enjoyable.
During the trip, Holly really enjoyed seeing the desert landscape... specifically the palm trees and cactus's.
Here is Holly showing her happiness of seeing a palm tree.
Here we are by the "Cactus Garden" at the Temple. Unfortunately that pathway was closed off, so we could only see them from the other side of the bars.

Later that afternoon, we left for our journey back to Utah on "a Jet Plane."
This is how I am after EVERY visit to Arizona...
Holly was able to catch up on a lot of reading during the trip. She read the first 2 books by Stephanie Meyer, Twilight and New Moon. The 4th comes out on August 2nd! The movie comes out in December..
She also seemed to be able to live on "cracker jacks" during the trip. I guess this is good to know. A good food to have in food storage.
I felt like I snacked on mostly EmergenceC (electrolytes due to the heat) and my parent's pecans.
We were able to end our trip seeing a gorgeous sunset, and be welcomed back to Utah with a rainstorm, and strong wind driving all the way home.

Day 119 - Wednesday, July 23, 2008 - THE TOUR!!!!

THE TOUR!!!!

The choir I had created at work went on it's 1st tour today! It was a great experience. They had selected two songs to sing in different areas of the hospital. We sang "Candle on the Water" and "Leaving on a Jet Plane." I had one of the patients accompanied the group on the guitar for the John Denver song. Needless to say, I had this song in my head the remainder of the day... especially as my cousin and I boarded a "jet plane" that night to go to Arizona.

The choir was a hit everywhere we went, and I am already thinking about how to make our next concert tour at Christmas time be even more spectacular.
