We picked up Jacob from the Phoenix Mesa Airport yesterday. He was excited to be where it is warm. We have a big week planned. Tomorrow we will be in California playing at the Imperial Sand Dunes.
We took Jacob to Uncle Les and Aunt Yvonne's for supper. It was the first time to meet his cousins Abby and Evan.
After supper we drove up to South Mountain, which is believe or not, south of Phoenix.
Astrid, our granddaughter is 10 today. This is the first birthday that I have not been with her. Usually, Mike and I are in Texas in May or I fly there. We are in Flagstaff, Arizona on our way to Wyoming.
Friday night, they held a Memorial Rodeo in the honor of Chris LeDoux. Chris and Peggy LeDoux's daughter, Cindy, did barrel racing. Casey LeDoux, who is 4 years old also ran the barrels. Actually, Cindy ran, and Casey rode. Beau LeDoux, the youngest son, did bronco riding. Beau stayed on the entire ride. Awesome!
We travelled from Niagra Falls to Lake Placid, New York. It was not in our itinerary, but then again, we do not really have one. We were heading towards Maine and saw that Lake Placid was just a little way off our path. So....side trip! We stayed at the Lake House overlooking Mirror Lake. Our room was rustic with a beautiful view. We toured the town and ate at a brewery. Again, we walked over 2 miles. The next day we toured the Olympic Center. The 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics were held at Lake Placid. On the way out of town to Trapp Family Lodge, we went to the Olympic Ski area and took the tram to the top. I do not like heights. Freaked me out. Mike loved it. Not loving it!!!
