Mom's in Town!--Part 2

We did so much with my mom in town that I could have parts 3, 4, 5...and so on. However, I will condense it to this last post. I was fortunate to only have to work 3 days the whole time she was here!! So nice. We played a lot, and of course ate a lot. We went to the Diamondbacks game for memorial day with Grandma's 60 plus club! It was safe to say that Mom, Nick, and I were the youngest there by a good 40 or more years! You won't hear me complain though because we took a chartered bus, got dropped off at the entrance, and had excelled seats next to all the food. Being with old people does have its advantages--you hardly walk anywhere far!!

Also on the agenda was going to the Desert Botanical Gardens. We wanted to go there because it was the final weekend of the Dale Chihuly glass exhibit. It was so hot that day. We went around 4pm so we could see the glass during the day, but then also be there when it was dark because we had heard how neat it was to see how they light up all the glass.

We pretty much had no shame sweating through our shirts as we walked around the desert with the blazing sun beating down on us in the over 100 degree heat. Here are a few pictures of the glass.

Other highlights of Mom's visit included buying Grandma a new flat screen TV, and assembling her entertainment stand (3 hours later--we all sure do LOVE Nick---it looks great). We ate at some of our favorite restaurants, and Nick and I made Mom and Grandma dinner two nights. We ate lots of See's candy and Mom and Grandma even made pecan pie. Needless to say, the diet will now begin! We love you Mom and we are so glad you could come to AZ for a visit.
