The next morning we got up and cleared out of the quiet house on the mountain and headed to Phoenix. We’ll just say the best things about the Embassy Suites we stayed in were the breakfast buffet and the swimming pool. I think that’s about all we can say.
Well, and maybe don’t completely trust someone selling three air mattresses for $2 when they say they hold air.
We met the family at Grandma Ruth’s place and started our two-day celebration in honor of her 90th birthday. It was a great time! (Thanks, Ross and Mom and Julia, I’m borrowing your pictures!)
There was the pre-party the afternoon and night before, and then the real party all the next day into the night. We were some real party people, living it up senior-living style.
It’s just amazing to me to think what seems like just a few years ago, she birthed her babies, who then had their own babies…
that then had theirs…
and it’ll just go on and on -- a true legacy.
Sammy slept through the rockin’ karaoke party happening literally right next to his head.
You would think instead maybe the 90-year-old would tire out, but it seemed to me she was going stronger than the kids through all the days’ excitement!
Next morning, we had an early flight and headed back to home.
It was a short but sweet trip! So glad we went and can’t wait for a reason to go back again.
Triple WOW! Loved looking at the pictures again. Makes me smile each time I see them. Thank you, thank you!
