Our friends, the Wilson's, live in Phoenix while Matt is doing his medical residency. They invited us to spend Thanksgiving weekend with them, and I am so glad we took them up on their offer. It was so nice to have Rob with us all the time, and it was fun to spend time with Matt and Heather, and now Paxton, again.
SIDE NOTE!! Rob and Matt have been friends for a long time. I know they were friends in high school, and maybe middle school too. Rob and Matt used to play in volleyball tournaments together. Here are a couple of pictures from the Park City Tournament the last summer they were able to play together (2003).
Okay, back to our trip. We arrived in Phoenix Thursday afternoon and had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner, all prepared by Heather. She did a great job, and the Pecan Pie was AWESOME. Brody, Seth and Paxton became quick friends.
Friday we went to a train park in Mesa. Brody loved it, as right now he is a little obsessed with trains! There is a carousel, quite a few playgrounds, and a train that goes around the park.
Brody and Paxton quickly became buddies. Brody really enjoyed having a boy his age to play with all the time!
While Brody and Paxton were walking nicely together, Seth was off by himself trying to catch the birds!
The kids had a great time on the playground. It was quite warm though, and with the kids running all over the place, Brody's cheeks got quite flushed (we loved the Arizona weather over Thanksgiving!). Here are our two little monkeys!
After the train park, Rob and Matt took the boys golfing at the putting green in their community. Notice Brody doesn't understand the 'putting green' concept!
