Labor Day Weekend in Phoenix

We drove to Phoenix for the Labor Day weekend.
I packed us a lunch to eat in the car while we drove.
Fred scoped out the eating along the way and it looked no one was offering
dine in. We didn't want to order food and then park somewhere in the 100+ weather.
Eating as we drove proved to make for a much faster arrival.

We arrived in time to go with Evan to his swimming lesson.
His swimming lesson is held in a private facility. I've never seen anything like it before.
Scott grilled us some Kabobs, minus the skewers. Pineapple, peppers and steak. It was very delicious. 
Scott and Jess have a list of home improvement projects. 
Scott and Fred tackled this project. Actually Scott did 99.9% of the work. 
I thought Fred was a great supervisor. He pointed out a few options and Scott made the decision.
I loved watching this process.

On Saturday afternoon, Fred and I drove to Scottsdale to meet Shan and Judy Hubsmith for lunch.
It was great to see them and catch up on what's been going on with our lives since they moved away.
That evening they tackled one more job. A new light fixture over the dining table. 
First meal under their new light fixture.
Here the boys are cooling off while Scott and Fred were working on the lights.



When we first arrived, this was the birthday greeting the family
created for me. The boys helped too.
A very sweet gesture!
Looks like necklace examining time for Evan. The boys seem pretty comfortable with us. They are still young so Fred and I are still navigating how to interact with them. We aren't comfortable being too pushy with them. We sure do like being there and watching everything going on.
We did go swimming on Sunday afternoon. That was fun. 
Jess worked on wedding cake flavors and we got to reap the benefits of that. 
It was a good trip. Comes and goes very quickly.
