We drove from Yuma to Tucson to meet Pete and Suzy at their friend, Sally Schroer's, home. We have met Sally and her family on a previous visit and we enjoyed seeing them all again. That was about 6 years ago and the grandkids have really grown since then. Pete made sourdough pancakes which is always a treat and we enjoyed a dinner out, too. Pete and Suzy are visiting with Brett (who hid behind Suzy) and his girls. Brett's wife, Melissa, is pictured with the girls - Jamie on the far left and Aubrey in the middle.
One morning we went out for bagels and it's hard to believe there are so many different kinds of bagels and cream cheese toppings. There were breakfast bagels and lunch bagels made with whole wheat, garlic, or sun dried tomato and olive bagels just to name a few. They were very, very good. After breakfast, we visited a local garden - the Tohono Chul Park. It was a nice sunny day perfect for strolling along the paths. The plants and cacti of the desert have their own beauty. These gardens had a large variety of beautiful plants.
The fun exhibits among the desert plants were great. An artistic way to accent the versatility of the desert plants.
The saguaro cactus make a good backdrop for pictures. Suzy, Pete and Sally shown in one picture and Bill, Teri, Suzy and Pete shown in the other picture.
Jamie and Aubrey have been collecting the American Girl dolls and they are very enthusiastic about them. They gave us a fashion show and it was so sweet. They told us the names of their dolls and described each of the outfits. Thank you, Sally, Brett, Melissa, Jamie and Aubrey for making our short stay in Tucson a real delight. Hope to see you again soon.
Thanks for the update and sharing all your pictures. You two have been very busy. Happy you are enjoying your trip. Have a safe trip.
