Mt. Lemmon
Dianna has planned to do a "Grandma's Workshop" every Saturday until after Christmas. The idea is to get all of the grand kids together and do some sort of holiday craft or activity. I think this is such a cute idea, the grand kids will love it. Our first activity consisted of pine cone hunting. This past Saturday we went to Mt. Lemmon, which is just outside of Tucson, to collect pine cones. We had so much fun. Mt. Lemmon is very pretty, and for us desert dwellers a bit chilly. When we first got there we had a "tailgate picnic" in the back of the truck. Then we headed up to the top of the mountain to get our loot. It was really neat because during the off-season when there isn't any snow they still have the ski lift going to take you to the top of the mountain. So we rode up to the top, looked around for about an hour or so, then rode back down. The ski lift was a lot of fun but also kind of scary. It sure is high sitting at the top of that thing, but it makes for a great view. We got all the pine cones we needed and had a great time doing it. It was just so nice for all of us to spend the day together. All together we had Grandma & Grandpa, Julie and two of her boys Brady & Garret, Jenna & Hayden, Jared, me, Addison & Urban, and a long time family friend from Alaska, Eric, who now lives in Tucson with his girlfriend Jessica (who is just as cute as can be). This last Saturday was a lot of fun, I can't wait for the rest of them. Thanks Grandma!

WHAT A SWEET IDEA, HOW FUN. I MUST SAY THOUGH I AM A BIT SAD, THAT I DON'T GET TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO SUCH FUN ACTIVITIES WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN. RON AND DIANNA ARE VERY LUCKY GRANDPARENTS, AND THE KIDS ARE LUCKY TOO, TO HAVE SUCH LOVING AND CARING GRANDPARENTS IN THEIR LIVES, I AM VERY GREATFUL FOR THAT.
How fun! I am like Mom, I wish we ALL lived closer so we could all do stuff like this. How fun would that be.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
